The committee considered the report of the Senior Head of Development seeking Members’ views on the Employment Land Local Plan before its consideration at Cabinet on 11 December 2013.

Members were advised that in May 2012, the Eastbourne Core Strategy Local Plan was subject to Public Examination by a Planning Inspector. The Inspector expressed concerns over the evidence that supported Core Strategy Policy D2: Economy, particularly relating to the employment land supply. In order to address this issue without delaying the adoption of the Core Strategy, the Inspector recommended that Core Strategy Policy D2: Economy be the subject of an early review, leading to its replacement with an additional Local Plan to deal specifically with the employment land supply. This review would be subject to Public Examination and should be adopted by the end of 2014. The Core Strategy was subsequently adopted in February 2013.

In order to meet this requirement, an Employment Land Local Plan (ELLP) was being produced. The ELLP would guide job growth and economic development in Eastbourne up to 2027 as well as identifying an appropriate supply of land for future employment development, in order to achieve a sustainable economy and make Eastbourne a town where people want to live and work. It specifically related to land and buildings within the B1 (Offices and Light Industry), B2 (General Industry) and B8 (Storage and Distribution) Use Classes.

A Proposed Draft ELLP had been produced and this document would be the subject of public consultation as the next stage of progress towards adoption the Local Plan by the end of 2014.

The Cabinet report recommended that the Proposed Draft Employment Land Local Plan be published for consultation with the community and key stakeholders for a 12 week period between 20 December 2013 and 14 March 2014. Planning Committee Members were asked to consider the attached report and any comments would be considered and reported verbally to Cabinet when they meet on 11 December.
