Core Strategy Preferred Approaches

Representation ID: 1716

Representation Summary:

There also needs to be stronger articulation of the employment offer to existing local communities. Deepening economic & social exclusion not only jeopardises attracting employers, it also threatens the viability of localised development, for example the Millenium Community. Beyond welcomed targets for mixed tenure & affordable housing, we cannot see a clear picture of developer social contribution in the strategy. Should we not be able to see a stronger link between significant construction & inward investment in developing a workforce to achieve & maintain it?
