As an East Midlands-based family-run housebuilder, WDH are committed to enhancing the skills of local tradespeople and providing employment opportunities within their residential developments. Therefore, the intention of Policy E6 is welcomed. WDH would, however, appreciate clarification as to the stage at which Employment and Skills Plans are required, and ordinarily would expect this to be a condition of a detailed planning approval, by which stage information on the sourcing of labour will be fixed.

"The Council will encourage development proposals" - how will this work in practice, what will be done to "encourage" development" (P121)
This seems to be an Aim, rather than a planning policy

This policy is entirely backwards - if there is a skills and employment strategy for Rutland it should focus on a high skill knowledge and technology economy, which must be integrated with the regional towns and urban centres to make any sense.
Flowing from this, the Local Plan should identify new development for housing and commercial premises as an ENABLER. The current policy starts with development (i.e. for profit, typically not reinvested locally) and then attempts to make skills and employment a post-hoc justification, which will at best be a secondary consideration, not the central objective.
