Land allocation should be consistent with needs identified in Evidence Base. 23.2ha requirement represents most up-to-date figure to base allocation on. When compared with total land allocated for employment use (28.34ha) under Policy SP5, there is a significant amount of land allocated in excess of requirement. Even allowing for flexibility, the excess is not justified. Entirely appropriate to consider reducing land allocation to reflect actual need. Allocations require further review to ensure consistency with Evidence Base and to achieve soundness. Recommend land identified in Plan is reduced under Policy CS13 to circa 23ha.
