An economic profile in respect of jobs, earnings and the local economy to support the Local Plan.
The Torbay Local Plan 2012 to 2030 (“the Plan”) was adopted on 15 December 2015. On 17 November 2020 Cabinet took the decision to update the Torbay Local Plan 2012 to 2030 and submit the updated Plan for Examination.
Cabinet requested a review and update of the housing elements of the Plan. This includes a review of housing land allocations and housing policies. This necessitates a new Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) and Housing and Economic Needs Assessment (HENA) without a review of economic land allocation. The HENA will include an updated economic profile in respect of jobs, earnings and the local economy.
