Licence number AL50684A 42213/01/SPM/CR 16540584v2 17266182v3 Cannock Chase Economic Development Needs Assessment : Final Report Executive Summary Lichfields was appointed by Cannock Chase District Council [CCDC] to undertake an update to its Employment Land evidence base in November 2018. CCDC is currently in the process of preparing a new Local Plan for the period 2018 to 2036 and is therefore reviewing its existing employment land evidence on the supply and demand of employment land in the District. The EDNA will therefore form a key part of the evidence base for the emerging Local Plan, identifying future growth needs across Cannock Chase within the national and local planning policy context. The EDNA follows the requirements set out in the revised National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance with regards to planning for economic development needs. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to assess the need for, and supply of, employment land. This involved analysis of economic, demographic and commercial property market data, and consultation with a range of stakeholders including commercial agents, economic development and business organisations, and a survey of local businesses. The purpose of the EDNA is to provide the Council with an understanding of the current and potential future requirements for employment land and how this aligns with current stock of B-Class employment land in the District.
