It covers the period 2011-31 and provides for an annual requirement of 883 homes, equating to 17,660 new dwellings over the 20-year plan period. It anticipates the creation of 14,400 jobs and provides for a total of 29,800sqm of retail floorspace (comparison and convenience), 110,031sqm B1/B2/B8 floorspace, and 100,000sqm medical use floorspace over the same time frame. The council is committed to an early review of the MBLP which is expected to be adopted by October 2022.
