The number of jobs in the service sector is highestin Worcester City reflecting its sub-regional importance as an administrative,education, shopping and entertainment centre. Redditch town centre has thenext largest number of jobs in the service sector which is in part explained bythe number of jobs in retailing.Figure 15:Service Sector Employment Levels by Urban Centre, 2001.Service Sector EmploymentUrban Centre2001Bromsgrove Town 19,299Malvern Town 11,132Redditch Town 24,913Worcester 36,606Droitwich 6,156Evesham 6,800Pershore 2,299Kidderminster 17,876Stourport-on-Severn 3,629Source: Annual Business Inquiry, National Online Manpower InformationSystem13
3.7 STRUCTURE PLAN OBJECTIVE: Promote energy efficient construction,design and development patterns.Indicator 25:Number and percent of dwellings and employment development (B1-B8)built/planned for within or adjacent to urban areas of Bromsgrove,Droitwich, Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn, Redditch, Worcester,Evesham, Malvern and Pershore.3.7.1 Figure 9 above shows the number of dwellings commitments within or adjacentto the urban areas named in County Structure Plan Policy SD.6. This totalrepresents about 68% of the commitments in the County at that date. As maybe expected the respective percentage totals of the six districts reflect theirgeographical characteristics and the implementation of the previous structureplan development strategy which required the majority of housing developmentto be concentrated in, or adjacent to, the urban areas of the County. MalvernHills and Wychavon Districts, which are largely rural in nature and containrelatively small urban areas, have the lowest percentages of committeddwellings in or adjacent to their respective urban areas. Conversely the City ofWorcester District is essentially urban in nature with built development tight tothe district boundary and therefore all of the dwelling commitments are within oradjacent to the urban area. The number of dwellings completions are shown inFigure 16.3.7.2 Similarly the number and percentage of commitments and completions foremployment uses (Classes B1, B2 and B8) within or adjacent to the urban areasat April 2001 reflect the characteristics of the districts and the previousdevelopment plan strategy.
