Policy 81 Strategic Industrial Locations (SIL)

In the designated SIL, the following uses will be permitted and safeguarded:

  • Class B1(b) and B1(c),
  • Class B2, and
  • Class B8.

Notwithstanding the above uses, proposals on sites in the SIL where non Class B operations are already in existence should seek to provide Class B uses. Proposals involving non Class B uses on these sites should provide employment generating uses that reinforce the role of the SIL.

Proposals in the SIL for Class B uses that include a quantum of floorspace to be used for display and sales should demonstrate that this quantum of floorspace is clearly ancillary to the primary Class B uses.

On land in the SIL identified as an Office Cluster, Class B1(a) uses will be permitted as a primary use for the land, provided that the use does not impede effective operation of other nearby businesses in the SIL. On land elsewhere in the SIL, proposals involving a Class B1(a) use should demonstrate that the use is clearly ancillary to a primary Class B1(b), B1(c), B2 or B8 use.

Proposals for waste management and disposal installations will be permitted, provided that the use does not impede the effective operation of other nearby businesses in the SIL or the primary function of the SIL as an Industrial Business Park.
