Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Workspace Strategy 2008
The South West Regional Development Agency (South West RDA), in cooperation with Dorset County Council, Bournemouth, Christchurch, East Dorset, North Dorset, Poole, Purbeck, West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland district / unitary authorities in the sub-region, commissioned GVA Grimley Ltd in 2008 to prepare a Workspace Strategy and Delivery Plan for the sub-region.
This serves as a review and update to the 2003 Workspace Strategy. The Strategy seeks to ensure that there is a delivery of sufficient, appropriate employment land and quality of employment premises to meet business requirements and ensure the sustainable growth of the sub-regional economy. The document is structured in two parts:
• The Strategy provides a baseline review and assessment of the sub-region and establishes demand and supply patterns. It ends with nine strategic recommendations
• The Delivery Plan identifies in general terms possible interventions to improve the employment land supply situation in the sub-region and assesses key sites and makes site specific recommendations (in the Appendix to the Delivery Plan)
