Respondent: Mr Christopher Atkinson

The strategy themes that form Part 3 of the document identify a need to expand the range of employment land and premises, including new strategic sites, together with retention of existing employment sites. However the preferred strategy does not identify the need to provide for relocation of existing businesses such as Jempsons that are inappropriately or sub-optimally located. Rather it seeks to retain existing business sites and premises in employment use wherever practicable and compatible with local amenities.
if the preferred strategy is not amended to make adequate provision for the relocation of existing employment uses Jempsons will have no alternative but to formally object to this element of the Core Strategy.
