60 Lorry Parking
Land in use for lorry parking within General Employment Areas will normally be retained for this purpose. Planning permission for alternative uses will not be given unless it can be shown that:
- the lorry parking area is a small scale use incidental to operational activities of a particular firm, and no longer needed for that purpose; or
- the lorry parking area is no longer needed either for the current operator’s use, or for more general use in other hands. Further, that this is proven by evidence of efforts to dispose of the land on the basis of a lorry park use; or
- convenient replacement lorry parking facilities are being made available.
Provision of new lorry parking facilities will only be acceptable within General Employment Areas.
Safeguarding of specific land for continued lorry parking use is indicated in the Schedule of Transport Proposal Sites and Schemes.
