Employment Land Options:
Paragraphs 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 set out the two potential options for accommodating employment land as part of the southern sites strategic urban extensions.

In locating employment land the Council should have regard to the demands of the market.

Sites should have the capability of responding to future changes to economic circumstances.

This will be best obtained from the land north of Gallows Hill and west of Europa Way, where the site will enjoy direct access to the main highway network and a visible presence on the Europa Way corridor.

On that basis, the evidence base suggests that the employment land would be best directed to the land north of Gallows Hill and would favour this option at this stage.

Without prejudice to the views set out above the land controlled by Gallagher Estates south of Gallows Hill can be developed to work with whichever option is ultimately chosen.
