Existing Employment Areas at The Pinnacles, Templefields, Burnt Mill, Staple Tye, Bush Fair and Church Langley will be retained and enhanced for a mix of office, industrial and warehouse uses and other associated activities in accordance with Policy PR1.

The Enterprise Zone at London Road will facilitate the Research and Development Sector and other associated activities. Employment uses which are not related to the Research and Development sector will, therefore, require strong justification.

Grow-on space will be supported on existing Employment Areas and on future employment sites identified at The Pinnacles (ED1-1) and Templefields (ED1-3).

Neighbourhood Service Areas at The Stow, Bush Fair and Staple Tye will be protected in accordance with Policy PR2 and the provision of smaller start-up units, shared spaces and workhubs in these areas will be encouraged.

In all the above cases, developers will be expected to work with broadband service providers to ensure that the provision of future proofed high speed broadband infrastructure is available to occupiers and this should be by fibre connection wherever possible.
