Derby City Council (DCC), Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) and South Derbyshire District Council (SDDC) jointly commissioned the preparation of an ‘Employment Land Review’ of the whole Derby Housing Market Area (HMA).
Its purpose was to consider the area’s employment land requirements up to 2026 (the period covered by the emerging Regional Spatial Strategy) and to review the quantity and quality of the HMA’s existing and allocated employment land supply. It was not the purpose of this report to identify new or additional employment sites.
This report will form part of each authority’s ‘evidence base’ for their forthcoming Core Strategies and subsequent Local Development Framework documents. It will help us to identify some of the ‘issues’ the Core Strategy must address and will help to formulate some of the ‘options’ to be considered.
