Representation Summary:

Conclusion
We conclude that the Atkins Study, commissioned in November 2013 by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP), does not provide a robust evidence base and associated policy recommendations to assist in the preparation of CWLEP's Strategic Economic Plan. In fact, quite the reverse.
It is not legally compliant, it does not comply with the duty to cooperate and it is not sound.
It is not positively prepared, it is not justified, it is not effective and it is not consistent with national policy. The Gateway site should be removed from the emerging Local Plan.
A Regional Employment Study has been commissioned on behalf of the LEPs within the West Midlands area. Consequently, the findings of this Study should be considered alongside that of the regional sites study when available. Therefore, this Study cannot be considered as conclusive.
If such a regional employment site were justified, it should be considered as part of a future review of all Local Plans in the CWLEP area when several alternative sites could be compared and tested by proper Environmental Impact Assessments and Sustainability Appraisals before allocating any one particular site.
