Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 20340

Received: 15/01/2009

Respondent: Sussex Enterprise

Representation Summary:

Without suitable premises businesses could be forced to relocate out of the area. The rents for these premises should also be affordably priced, as 14% of businesses in East Sussex say that their rents have increased in the last 12 months. If high rents are set in the proposed office space, it may price many out of the market, leading to jobs not being created and 'sustainable economic growth' not being achieved.
