Economic Statement
Applications may
need to be accompanied by a supporting statement of any
regeneration benefits, such as the number of new jobs likely to be
created, community benefits and any regeneration strategies that
lie behind the proposals. This may be included as part of a
Planning Statement.
This would normally apply to larger more complex schemes and
agricultural diversification schemes/new business developments in
the countryside but could apply to smaller commercial
developments.
