E2: Location of Employment Growth

The Council will accommodate 9,000 new jobs during the plan period. Most of this employment growth will be directed towards suitable sites in the Heathrow Opportunity Area, Strategic Industrial Locations (SILs), Locally Significant Employment Locations (LSEL), Locally Significant Industrial Sites (LSIS), Uxbridge Town Centre and Hayes Town Centre with a particular focus around transport nodes. The Council will promote development in highly accessible locations that delivers sustainable travel patterns and contributes to the improvement of existing networks to reduce emissions and impacts on air quality. The Council will accommodate a minimum of 3,800 additional hotel bedrooms, and new hotels and visitor facilities will be encouraged in Uxbridge, Hayes, on sites outside of designated employment land on the Heathrow perimeter and in other sustainable locations.

Implementation of Policy E2: how we will achieve this

Policy E2 will be delivered through partnership working with key stakeholder like Transport for London, land owners and private developers. Inward investment opportunities will be identified in partnership with Think London. The Council will apply national, regional and local policies when considering development growth and set out area specific policies through the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part 2 - Site Specific Allocations and Hillingdon Local Plan: Part 2 - Heathrow Area Policies Local Development Documents.
