Ymatebydd: Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce

In terms of employment need to 2050 the CWCCC supports the basis of this key Policy. It notes that this draft policy direction sets out a large range of additional “industrial” provision between 75 and 125 ha up to 2050. The figure needs to be refined in subsequent iterations of this plan.

The CWCC welcomes the indication that the plan will accept the upper end of the range derived from
the WMSSS.

The final figures should not be derived only from the quantitative sources identified. It should also be informed from additional qualitative input from business organisations like the Chamber of Commerce, directly from industry and the spread of businesses across the C&W sub region.

The Chamber of Commerce has not commented on the
proposed new settlement locations but notes that a new settlement is likely to be allocated. CWCC
believes that if this option is selected it must include provision for an appropriate balance of
employment opportunities.

The CWCCC welcomes and supports the overall approach underpinning the Spatial Growth Strategy
this will provide a balance of new growth and an appropriate relationship between homes, jobs and
the provision of infrastructure and community facilities.
