While the provisions set out in the Concept Plan are broadly supported, it is noted that the area shown for residential-led mixed use development relies on much of the existing employment uses being re-located and that the area allocated for this relocation is much smaller in scale. Many of the existing businesses on the site are successfully operating in this location, set on the periphery of the City and in close proximity to major road networks and rail provision. It is difficult to see how they could successfully be re-located to alternative sites without this being prejudicial to their success.
