Representation Summary:

Past Trends/Completions:
Richborough notes that the underlying data collection and analysis contained in the Stage 1 EDNA was produced prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, with
the logistics requirements derived from net completion rates covering the 2012/13 –2017/18 period. Richborough considers that this five year period is not a reliable basis upon which to forecast a 20-year Local Plan period.

Net to Gross Employment Requirements:
The Stage 1 EDNA estimates the net employment requirements across the District without applying any additional allowances that are typically included within the recommended employment requirements.
