Mr P King 6 Arlington Way Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Comment Mr. neil blackshaw Thetford healthy town programme Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Disagree Mr Paul Leeming Carter Jonas Harrogate 14 Policy TH 13 Agree Mr Paul Leeming Carter Jonas Harrogate 14 Policy TH 13 Agree Before adding to the size of Thetford, more should be done to upgrade the town and then think about further expansion. Building 5,000 homes will require more than 5,000 jobs or is only one person per household going to work? Information provided by EEDA is that of on average one economically active adult per household. Employment land allocated. Existing employment estates recommended to be addressed. Employment topic paper being produced. BDC have economic development team so economic development and employment important to BDC. Many jobs created as a result of supporting services to the development. Number is a floor, not a ceiling. No further action. A new policy is required to the effect that All proposals will be expected to make secure provision for training and employment of local unemployed people . REASONS It is essential that all the employment opportunities offered by the growth of Thetford are taken. This will increase the range of employment and hopefully increase household income which will in turn reduce levels of deprivation and improve health outcomes. The initiation of training , apprenticeship and employment schemes in connection with major construction projects is well established. Growth in employment will need to come from all parts of the economy and not simply new employment land .However there is no specific policy requiring this outcome in Thetford. This amendment seeks to remedy that gap and Maybe Council policy or something for PPA. No further action provide clear guidance as to what will be required. for the TAAP. PPA. Pass on comment to Economic Development. Introduce policy into the TAAP. We would suggest that in both Section 14 New Jobs and Section 15 The planning system can make land available for employment uses and provide a policy framework to shape and encourage investment. The evidence to support the TAAP employment policies is provided in the Employment Land Review (2006) and Thetford Growth and Infrastructure Study (2007). Further to this evidence the TAAP has been informed by the Council's REV Programme and the latest REV-Active initiative to support particular economic activities along the A11 corridor in Local Centres reference is made to the holistic approach set out in Breckland including Thetford. A total of 40ha of new PPS4 Planning and Sustainable Economic Growth with regard to the employment land has been identified in the TAAP to provide for provision of new employment resulting from development within the a variety of uses. In addition, jobs will be provided in the service SUE. Clearly there will be jobs arising from the construction phase of sectors necessary to support the new population including the development for the duration of the Plan period as well as the education, health and retail and personal services.

For Policy TH13 New Employment Land (along with comments at para 4.22) we would suggest as worded this is a Plan wide policy; otherwise we suggest that the status of the TEP is clarified (i.e. Disagree. To ensure delivery TEP should be considered as part removed from the policy). Nevertheless the policy is not consistent of the wider urban extension as it is vital for the future transport with the adopted Core Strategy which suggests that some 30 40 ha network of the town that there is a balance of jobs and homes to of strategic employment land should be identified in Thetford. If the support appropriate levels of self-containment. Additionally TEP is removed the policy introduction should read: "Between 12 infrastructure delivery across the urban extension will enable and 22 hectares of land should be provided for new employment TEP to come forward. It may be necessary at the detailed development." Footnote no.19 should then be amended/deleted planning stage to amend the phasing of employment land, accordingly. We would also suggest that the schedule of sites at however, the Council has concerns that to disengage TEP from TH13 is modified to reflect the most recent Land Use Budget which the urban extension will result in risks to its delivery and wider seeks to deliver 22.0ha of employment land, the upper limit set out in implications for the transport strategy and the spatial vision for the Core Strategy. the town. No change.
Mr Stuart Wilson Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Agree Mr Stuart Wilson Thetford Society Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Agree Mr Tom Gilbert- Wooldridge English Heritage Cambridge 14 Policy TH 13 Comment Mrs Janet Smith Gibbons Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Comment Agree, but there is a need to provide a range of employment opportunities. I would want to encourage a balance between warehousing, factories and offices. There is a need for quality office space to attract quality jobs. The move by Jeyes to relocate their offices from Thetford to Cambridge is significant. It is essential that employment areas should be accessed via trunk and main roads and not through residential zones but there is a need to provide a range of employment opportunities. We would want to encourage a balance between warehousing, factories and offices. There is a need for quality office space to attract quality jobs. The move by Jeyes to relocate their offices from Thetford to Cambridge is significant. It is essential that employment areas should be accessed via trunk and main roads and not through residential zones We welcome the recognition within the policy of the need to amend the shape of the allocated land to reflect the scheduled monument, given the allocation pre-dates the scheduling. It is not entirely clear whether the Proposals Map is being altered, as the map appears to show the scheduled area and employment allocation overlapping. Furthermore, the policy refers to the overall land take remaining unchanged, which seems impossible if the shape of the allocated land is being reduced. Clarification is needed on the exact shape of the surviving site allocation and the fact that the scheduled part of the original allocation is now not suitable for development. We would also question why Section 37 proposes to continue saving Policy (099)1 of the Local Plan, when the boundary is being changed. Policy being amended to deliver the requisite employment land. TH13 would appear to replace the Local Plan policy with no need to Section 37 needs to be updated to reflect the saved policy will be continue saving it. replaced. As stated previously, there has never been any explanation of where this employment will come from. Just providing land does not create jobs. The planners need to state clearly what jobs they expect to see and how they will be created. Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 14 Policy TH 13 Comment Enough new employment in 14 years too optimistic. The planning system can make land available for employment uses and provide a policy framework to shape and encourage investment. The evidence to support the TAAP employment policies is provided in the Employment Land Review (2006) and Thetford Growth and Infrastructure Study (2007). Further to this evidence the TAAP has been informed by the Council's REV Programme and the latest REV-Active initiative to support particular economic activities along the A11 corridor in Breckland including Thetford. A total of 40ha of new employment land has been identified in the TAAP to provide for a variety of uses. In addition, jobs will be provided in the service sectors necessary to support the new population including education, health and retail and personal services. The Council's vision for a regenerated town centre will also result in job creation. The Council acknowledges that the evidence behind the employment strategy needs to be more clearly articulated and consequentially an Employment Topic Paper will be produced to accompany the submission TAAP. The employment strategy for Thetford, including the various activities of agencies, could usefully be coordinated within a single Topic Paper document to support the submission version of the TAAP. The employment strategy for Thetford, including the various activities of agencies, could usefully be coordinated within a single Topic Paper document to support the submission version of the TAAP. The allocation will be amended to reflect the Scheduled update Section 7 to state that the Monument designation and consequentially the shape of Site E1 policy will be replaced rather than saved. Add extra criterion re type of development to TH13 bullet points. The planning system can make land available for employment uses and provide a policy framework to shape and encourage investment.

The TAAP aims to deliver previously agreed jobs targets and employment land requirements. Progress will be monitored and if necessary future reviews of the Plan could extend the time period over which the jobs are delivered. The Council is committed to working towards ambitious jobs targets given the economic potential of Thetford, especially after the completion of the dualling of the A11. No change.
