    Appendices Appendix 1 Revised Policy SP17 Employment Land Appendix 2 Revised Chapter 5 Housing – Introduction and Policy H1 Appendix 3 Affordable Housing Appendix 4 Revised Chapter 6 Employment – Entire Chapter Appendix 5 Revised Chapter 12 Monitoring Framework – Entire Chapter Appendix 6 Revised Chapter 13 Infrastructure Requirement – Summary Tables Appendix 7 Minor Amendments to Village Boundaries Appendix 8 Local Centre Boundaries Appendix 1 – Updated SP17 Employment Land SP17 Employment Land PROVISION WILL BE MADE FOR APPROXIMATELY 173 HECTARES OF EMPLOYMENT LAND FOR THE PERIOD 2011 - 2026. 2.67 This requirement has been assessed taking into account: labour supply projections, reflecting the population projections; historic take-up of employment land; and employment sector projections. 2.68 The employment forecasts for Newport have been based on Experian Economic forecasts. Newport's economy is therefore expected to grow by an additional 7,400 jobs over the LDP period. 2.69 In terms of allocating space to support delivery of these jobs, it has been identified that Newport requires a minimum of 21.5 hectares of employment land specifically for Class B uses, including offices and industrial/warehousing uses. There needs to be sufficient suitable warehousing land to meet the gross requirements coming forward in advance of industrial land disposals projected by the decline in industrial employment over the Plan period. For this reason an additional 13.5 hectares of land has been allocated on the grounds of being the type of land which is fit for purpose by today’s market standards. 2.70 Therefore, in total, the Plan has a minimum requirement of 35 hectares for net employment land for the Plan period.
