DM5.3 Vale Royal/Brewery Road Locally Significant Industrial Site

Within the Vale Royal/Brewery Road Locally Significant Industrial Site:

A) The council supports the retention and intensification of uses appropriate to the role of the Locally Significant Industrial Site (i.e. within the B1(c), B2 and B8 Use Classes).

B) Proposals that would result in a loss or reduction of floorspace in the B1(c), B2 or B8 Use Classes will be refused unless the applicant can demonstrate exceptional circumstances, including through the submission of clear and robust evidence related to the continuous marketing of vacant floorspace for a period of at least two years.

C) Notwithstanding (b), the loss or reduction of business floorspace will be resisted where the proposal would have a detrimental individual or cumulative impact on the area’s primary economic function (including by constraining future growth of the primary economic function).

D) Planning permission will be refused for the introduction of non-business uses (i.e. which fall outside the B Use Classes) except for services and facilities that are clearly ancillary to, and support the economic and employment function of, the Locally Significant Industrial Site.
