That covers amendment No. 1166. Amendment No. 1170 seeks to insert a provision to "include details of the implications the proposed scheme will have on enterprise and employment". Prior to designating a suitable site as a candidate UDZ in its development plan, a planning authority must prepare a planning framework and may then undertake a more detailed development scheme. The planning framework will set out the strategies, principles, information and maps required to facilitate the development of a site. The development scheme sets out in greater detail the extent of proposed permissible development and contains scheme-specific proposals relating to differing aspects regarding delivery of development on the land, including identification of land needed for public infrastructure and facilities necessary for the comprehensive development of the candidate UDZ. Supporting strategies for any development of this scale would include analysis of existing land use and the necessary implications which the comprehensive development of the candidate UDZ will have on those existing uses. The adoption of the planning framework and making of the development scheme involve public participation processes which allow stakeholders including those who own and work in existing enterprise and employment activities to make submissions. Therefore, the amendment is not required.
