Paragraph 4.5.8 does not provide a clear justification for seeking the provision of 22.5 hectares of employment land when a requirement of 17.5 hectares is identified.
If this approach has been taken to provide a potential expansion buffer and increase the flexibility of the employment land supply, then this should be approached on the basis of a sequential review of suitable employment sites.
Land reserved for future employment development requirements that could come forward later in the Plan period, as part of an 'expansion buffer', should be located further away from the urban edge to avoid prejudicing or interrupting the early delivery of residential development on sites sequentially closer to the existing urban area.
