The Local plan identifies “digital, cultural and creative; healthcare technology; advanced manufacturing and engineering; and tourism sectors” as the key growth drivers within the Borough. Generally, we do not have an opinion on how land should be allocated for employment sites. However, local plans do not offer foresight with regard to specific major water users coming forward within the plan period, due to the breadth of employment land uses within the Use Classes Order. In addition, it is not always possible to predict exactly what will happen in the future, as has been demonstrated with the change to the economic climate in recent years. Consequently, it is difficult to predict what the demand on water supply will be. We therefore wish to work closely with the council going forward, particularly if large water users propose to develop employment sites, in order to ensure there is adequate water supply to facilitate the proposal and meet the vision of the council.
