Minutes:
The Panel considered a report summarising the findings of the Employment Study undertaken for Buntingford, which sought agreement to use the Study to inform the preparation of the East Herts District Plan and to inform Development Management decisions.
Councillor S Bull read a statement on behalf of the Town Council, the local Chambers of Commerce and the Civic Society, which suggested that the findings were flawed and that a maximum of only 2 hectares of land should be retained for employment purposes. Officers referred to the range of assumptions within the Study and the need for a robust evidence base.
The Panel supported the recommendation as now detailed.
RECOMMENDED – that the Buntingford Employment Study, June 2014, be agreed as part of the evidence base to inform and support the East Herts District Plan and for Development Management purposes in the determination of planning applications.
