Epsom & Ewell - E5 Town Centre Employment Floorspace Provision

Policy information sourced from the Epsom & Ewell Epsom Town Centre Area Action Plan

E5 Town Centre employment floorspace provision

New development will deliver around 6,000 sq m of new employment floorspace within the Town Centre during the period until 2026.

Within the Town Centre boundary, as defined on the Proposal Map, the loss of existing employment floorspace will be resisted.

Proposals that seek to redevelop aging upper floor office floorspace for retail, other commercial A class uses or non-commercial uses will be considered providing the following are demonstrated:

That there is a sufficient supply of high density employment floorspace within the Town Centre to meet the needs generated by future population growth
That the proposal site is no longer fit for purpose as Town Centre office stock
That the existing office use has been subject to an active marketing exercise lasting at least twelve months, prior to alternative uses being considered.
