LE1: Supporting Local Employment & Businesses
Proposals for the development of new small businesses and for the expansion or diversification of existing businesses, including farm-based operations, will be encouraged, providing that:
- it can be demonstrated that there will be no adverse impact from increased traffic, lighting, noise or other emissions or activities arising from the proposed development;
- it would have an acceptable impact on the character and scale of the village, its rural hinterland and landscape; and
Applications for extensions or part change of use of dwellings to enable flexible or home working within the development boundary will be supported, subject to there being appropriate parking and that the residential amenity of neighbouring properties is maintained.
In each instance, the provision of effective broadband services will be encouraged and appropriate measures should be incorporated into the design of workplaces.
