Site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) has direct access to the strategic road network - M54 and A460 and is in close proximity to strategic employment sites such as i54.
Whole or part allocation of site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) will form a natural extension to two exisitng employment sites.
Site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) provides opportunity for sustainable and accessible employment land at an established location with vehicular access possible off Hilton Main Industrial Estate or via existing commercial access at Bognop Road.
Site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) is considered to fall within the classification of PDL as defined by the NPPF with mineral reserves identified to be extracted within the immediate future, thus releasing the site for development.
Allocation of site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) for employment purposes does not conflict with any of the five purposes of GB as provided by the NPPF.
Established sites at J1, M54 are seperated from broader urban area and do not form large built-up area; unrestricted sprawl would not occur.
Site 649 (Essington Quarry, Bognop Road) should be assessed for its contribution to employment land needs.
Omission of question relating to employment allocations in Table 9 removes the ability for responses to these allocations. This is considered to render this part of the consultation unsound.
