LE1: Supporting Local Employment & Businesses

Planning applications for extensions or part change of use of dwellings to enable flexible or home working will be supported, subject to the criteria set out in Policy ND1 and the existence or provision of adequate car parking.

Proposals for the development of new small businesses and for the expansion or diversification of existing small-scale businesses, including farm-based operations, will be encouraged, providing that regard is had to other relevant policies of this Plan, in particular the criteria set out in Policies ND1, D1, TT1 and TT3. Where relevant, opportunities must be taken to secure the re-use of vacant or redundant historic buildings as part of the development.

Any proposals of further development on Pulloxhill Business Park that would result in any of the above criteria (including those in Policies ND1, D1, TT1 and TT3) being contravened will be strongly resisted.

In each instance, the provision of effective broadband services will be encouraged and appropriate measures should be incorporated into the design of workplaces.
