Land east of Highfields rd, Highfields Caldecote (HELAA site 51599)

S/JS and S/DS - please see attached document titled: Land at Highfields, Caldecote Representations / Summary.

Our assessment shows that the Council’s objectively assessed need for jobs across the Plan is insufficiently positive and significantly underestimates likely growth and does not reflect previous trends for the Plan area. We consider that the Plan should provide for additional jobs the effect being that more dwellings are required in the district, to accommodate growth and to limit ‘in commuting’. This is key theme of the development strategy for the Plan area. Therefore we object to the level of growth proposed by draft Policy S/JH as we do not consider it is well founded or justified.
