The calculation of the employment land requirement is flawed:
- a 60% contingency has been applied to the requirement to provide "flexibility of supply" (16.5 has) and " flexibility and the assumptions used in modelling & forecasting" (5has)
- 13.5 has have been added to the requirement to allow for the redevelopment of existing employment areas. It is not acceptable to take land in urban areas out of employment use and replace it on greenfield sites. The strategy should be to improve the effective use of existing employment sites at increased density.
- If flexibility is reduced to 16.5 has and existing employment areas improved at higher densities, there would be no requirement for new employment sites
