The Local Plan puts forward policies in relation to employment land needs, whilst acknowledging that it is based on an assessment from 2015, updated in 2020. We submit that a more up to date assessment is required to accurately consider the need for employment land. The information provided to date is an insufficient basis for the Council's apparent identified need to "regenerate" Basin 3. We do not consider that a need to "regenerate" the site has been identified, especially given that it is currently occupied by a viable key employer.
