Policy information sourced from Barking and Dagenham Adopted Core Strategy

POLICY CE2: LOCATION OF OFFICE DEVELOPMENT

Proposals for new office accommodation in Barking and Dagenham will be tested against the following sequential approach:

  • Barking Town Centre (in line with policy in the Barking Town Centre Area Action Plan, and with retail and town centre policies).
  • A defined District Centre (in line with retail and town centre policies).
  • A designated employment site that has been allocated for office use in the Site Specific Allocations DPD.
  • Edge-of-centre locations.
  • Out-of-centre sites with high PTAL levels.
  • Other out-of-centre sites.

However, the information set out in the justification below should be born in mind when developing and determining proposals. In particular, large scale speculative proposals for stand-alone office development are not encouraged.
