Policy DS8 is unsound in so far as it does not satisfy the requirement to meet objectively assessed development requirements.
Despite previous objections, the proposed plan persists with the approach on employment land that leads to an excessive allocation of employment land. The figures on employment land make it very clear that the Plan proposes redevelopment of existing employment land and this leads to the excessive amount of new employment land to be allocated. This makes both the proposed Plan and the associated Sustainability Appraisal unsound.
