We very much support part A1 of Policy SP6 and the specific reference in Part C1 to support the delivery of at least 1,600 jobs per annum up to 2038.

However specific reference to housing development and its ability to significantly contribute to the local economy is not featured in this policy or the supporting text to Policy SP6. Housing development would assist in helping the local community that new housing development does not just bring new houses. It brings new jobs directly through the planning, design and construction process and also thereafter through increased household expenditure and taxation jobs, affordable housing and other opportunities.

As such, it would be helpful if Policy SP6 cited a direct relationship between economic growth and housing growth, either in the policy itself or failing that, at least within the supporting text.
