Representation Summary:

The Council’s EDNA and employment topic paper are now markedly out of date in light of the implications of Covid-19 and Brexit; albeit, it may be that the Council’s forecast job growth may have increased compared to the forecasts from Oxford Economics in 2018.

Accordingly, the Council should update these documents, particularly given that these are core and critical pieces of the Council’s evidence base, to ensure that the Local Plan Review complies with the NPPF.

Council will need to update the SSHMA to reflect the latest workplace-based earnings ratios.
