(A)
Yes, subject to the comments made below.

Draft Policy SA1 mentions that the allocation was chosen partly due to the sustainable access to i54 business park, which in part highlights the importance of the i54 site. The SPD should provide a framework which helps to guide future planning applications ensuring that the agent of change principle is considered - protecting employment land.
Any future housing development needs to be carefully managed to ensure that there is no detrimental impact on Jaguar Land Rover’s operation that could undermine employment land.
The introduction of an agent of change principle would be beneficial to ensure there is no conflict between new housing developments and the existing employment land.
(B)
Jaguar Land Rover support the provision of separate policies for the four sites and the requirement of a detailed masterplan and design code, alongside the production of a Supplementary Planning Document.
