The PO has only made provision for c.107 ha of
employment land when excluding the WMI (See Table 9) – the supply from the WMI is not necessarily all attributed to the Council as it serves a regional role. Of this, and notwithstanding the WMI, only two strategic sites8 have been identified at ROF Featherstone and i54 (Western
Extension) with a combined capacity of 76 ha.

The Council’s evidence base
At present, there are a number of deficiencies in the Council’s approach which Richborough consider points to potentially a significantly greater level of need for B8
storage and distribution floorspace in the District and across the FEMA than is recommended in the Council’s current evidence base.
