Core Strategy Preferred Approaches

Representation ID: 1734

Representation Summary:

There also needs to be stronger articulation of the employment offer to existing local communities. Deepening economic and social exclusion not only jeopardises attracting employers, it also threatens the viability of localised development, for example the Millennium Community. Beyond welcomed targets for mixed tenure and 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 and inward investment in developing a workforce to achieve and maintain it?
