We have not seen a proper justification for Option 4 which is said to be based on the results of the Employment Land Review in pointing towards a requirement for between 12.6 and 14.3 ha of additional employment land. However, the Employment Land Review appears to assess demand as ranging between 12 and 21 ha of additional employment land being required and, therefore, it is clear that Option 4 scenario is very much at the bottom end of the identified range and appears to offer little to address the fundamental problems with the economy that have been identified.

Noted. 12-14ha of Employment land is a growth scenario predicted in the Conwy Employment Land Review based on economic forecasts (which suggest growth will be flat over the next 15 years,) balanced against the positive impact regional projects will have on numbers of jobs in Conwy.
