Respondent: Locate East Sussex

Overall Spatial Development Strategy
Employment (pp 23)

There is little reference to SEEDA's Regional Economic Strategy.
Locate East Sussex supports the target for a total additional supply of some 100,000 sq.m. of employment space to improve sustainable economic growth. It is appropriate that a substantial part of this additional supply be implemented through the development of proposed sites in North East Bexhill - an allocation which LES strongly supports.

Reference could be made to the continuing importance to communities of diversified farms / rural business centres.

Para 5.17 alludes to the importance of retaining employment sites and in passing to deliverability issues. A holistic strategy response is also supported.
