Policy DS9 is unsound - it does not satisfy the requirement to meet objectively assessed development requirements.
Policy DS9 is predicated on the erroneous claim that an additional 19.7ha of employment land is needed. If the calculation IN DS8 is corrected as above, WDC has an excess of employment land. There is no justification for the proposal to allocate green-field land for employment use and in particular, there are no exceptional circumstances for allocating 8ha of Green Belt land at Thickthorn.
