LE1 Proposals for Industry, Warehousing and Business Development

All proposals for industry (B2), warehousing (B8) and business (B1) development will be assessed by taking into account other policies of this plan and, where appropriate, the following considerations:

  1. whether the proposal conflicts with the local planning authority’s overall objective of securing the development or regeneration of an area;
  2. outstanding unimplemented planning permissions, development under construction and vacant floorspace elsewhere in the plan area;
  3. the availability and capacity of public transport facilities to serve proposals for employment intensive uses;
  4. the ability of the road system, as existing or taking due account of committed improvements, to accommodate at normal peak hours the additional traffic generated;
  5. whether any proposal for major development will create unacceptable demands for other land to be developed (for example, to provide for new housing or community facilities);
  6. the provision for access by people with disabilities and other accessible facilities both to and within buildings.
