Representation Summary:

Support the retention and development of employment sites. Acknowledge there should be ability for developers to balance employment with some enabling housing as long as the housing does not override the employment opportunities.
However, removal of the specific support for improving employment opportunities in the towns and villages which act as local service centres, gives developers more freedom to over ride the employment designation of sites. Rural employment sites already designated as such must be retained.
