LM5146-Q1: Layout query

Part Number: LM5146-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5146, LM5145

Tool/software:

Hi, 

I have query about recommend layout for DC DC converter. In pcb layout, what should be there below Switching node i.e. inner layers.?  I have gone through TI recommend layout which has ground plane below Switch node.

Due to pcb constraints, Is it ok to leave empty/void i.e. no copper plane below SW node and inductor? Will it have bad results? 

Thanks, 

P B S Varma.
