14.1 The proposed development would provide an extensive range of uses as part of
this mixed use development which is considered to be acceptable. This would
facilitate a significant uplift in employment floorspace which would create jobs
and training apprenticeships during the construction phase of the development.
Furthermore, this would provide economic activity to local businesses after the

development would facilitate the linkages, accessibility and permeability with the
wider Linear Park throughout the VNEB area. The public square would also
allow this area to be used for various public uses, bringing further activity and
vibrancy to this area of Vauxhall. Furthermore, the proposed public realm works
would facilitate linkages through the site and the wider area.
