This document outlines the revised draft of the Local Plan for employment, including key issues around protecting and intensifying industrial land, creating new town centres with a range of employment spaces, and securing local employment, training and procurement opportunities. It discusses supporting studies conducted and sets out policies around protecting existing employment, creating new employment space, supporting small businesses, work-live units, and ensuring local access to training and employment opportunities. The next steps outlined are a public consultation concluding in September 2017 and anticipated adoption of the Local Plan in Summer 2018 after examination.
