DM40: Non-Designated Employment Land and Floorspace
A) On non-designated employment sites within highly accessible or otherwise sustainable locations, the Council will support proposals for mixed-use, employment-led development where this is necessary to facilitate the renewal and regeneration (including intensification) of existing employment land and floorspace. All proposals for mixed-use development must satisfy the requirements of Policy DM38.A(a-f).
B) On all other non-designated employment sites (i.e. those which do not meet the location criteria of (A) above), the loss of employment land and floorspace will only be permitted where it can be demonstrated that the building or land is no longer suitable for continued employment use having regard to:
- Feasible alternative employment uses;
- The age and condition of the existing building(s) and the potential for refurbishment or adaptation, in particular to more flexible unit sizes;
- Site layout, access, and relationship to neighbouring uses;
- Periods of long-term vacancy; and
- Evidence of recent, continuous and suitable marketing, covering a minimum period of 3 years.
C) Subject to (B) above, where the Council is satisfied that the loss of non-designated employment land or floorspace is acceptable, support will be given to proposals that deliver community uses either as the sole use or as part of a mixed-use development.
D) Where proposals involve the total loss of employment floorspace a financial contribution towards employment related initiatives may be sought, in line with Policy SP9 and DM48.
