Supports the greater focus placed on the redevelopment of brownfield land to meet the identified housing target. In this respect, it is noted that the Employment Land Review 2013 has identified poor quality employment sites which may be suitable for housing development and acknowledges that there has been a lack of speculative development activity in the district for over 12 years (from well before the start of the 2008 recession). If take up of employment land continues at a similar rate as it has over the last 5 years (circa 16 hectares take up in total) the existing supply of available employment land (48.5 hectares) has capacity to provide approximately 15 years' worth of supply.
