House building needs to be driven by employment opportunities as our young people to should be encouraged to stay in the area instead of being forced away in order to find work. If jobs are not a major consideration, the homes built risk being used for holiday homes which detrimentally impact communities.

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.

Option 4 is our preferred growth option. This seeks to deliver 1,850 jobs and 5,250 dwellings over the 15 year plan period. This is based on aspirations within the Conwy Economic Growth Strategy which trends forward past job growth, however it does not seek as high levels of growth as Option 5. Given that the growth option is job driven, in-migration sees growth in the working age population which supports the aspirations within the draft RLDP of economic growth and a more balanced population structure. It is considered that this would result in aspirational and realistic growth across the County.
