Regional Policy Alignment on Employment Land
The approach accords with Regional Development Strategy policy requiring adequate and available land supply in settlements with good infrastructure provision and large resident employee bases.
This approach accords with regional policy in the Regional Development Strategy (RDS) that seeks to ensure an adequate and available supply of land to facilitate sustainable economic growth. The RDS also advocates that it is sustainable to locate sites in settlements where they can readily take advantage of infrastructure provision, digital connections, appropriate surrounding land uses, and a large resident employee base.
