CP5 Delivering land for business
The Council will address the needs of the local economy by:
- Safeguarding strategic and local employment areas (as set out in Appendix G) from non-business development as well as encouraging and facilitating their ongoing regeneration and redevelopment for economic purposes.
- Encouraging a range of development proposals for employment on new and existing employment areas that deliver B use classes or similar sui generis uses.
- Supporting High Wycombe as a location for high quality offices by encouraging the development of new premises in the town and also ensuring the delivery of existing key employment commitments, including Handy Cross Hub and High Wycombe Town Centre sites, to provide new B1a office accommodation.
- Allocating 21 ha of new strategic and local employment areas including:
- Additional new employment sites on the edge of High Wycombe (Wycombe Air Park), and limited employment development on some of the former Reserve Sites (Abbey Barn South and Gomm Valley) to improve the range and choice of sites;
- New employment sites at Princes Risborough (land adjacent to Regents Park and at Lower Icknield Way) and;
- A new employment site at Stokenchurch (on land adjoining Stokenchurch Business Park).
- Facilitating rural enterprise and diversification.
