Monitor major employment development outcomes

Partially satisfied

As a strategic planner or economic development analyst, I need to understand the volume and outcomes of major employment-related development applications (offices, R&D, light industry) so that I can monitor changes in local employment space, understand economic growth patterns, and ensure the area has suitable land and floorspace to support business and jobs.

Justification

Justification just-0052

The `development-scale` field records the local planning authority's classification of a full or outline planning application by development scale. The `major` value lets users identify applications classified by the local planning authority as major development. Together with `application-types` and `decision-notice.decision`, this helps users segment decision outcomes for major development. These needs are only partially satisfied because major scale and decision outcome do not by themselves provide the full development-type, use, floorspace, housing, employment, industrial, warehousing, retail or service detail needed for those reporting and monitoring questions.
