DM 18 New Employment Uses

The Council will:

  • consider applications for new employment development (of an appropriate scale) in designated employment locations favourably
  • ensure that any applications for new employment development (outside designated employment locations) are of an appropriate scale and have been planned positively in order to minimise any negative impacts on:
    • climate change
    • pollution
    • transport accessibility
    • design and character
    • the amenity of surrounding residents
    • current regeneration projects
    • local employment
  • ensure that any applications for new employment development, outside designated areas, demonstrate the application of the sequential approach and/or provide an impact assessment as outlined in national guidance (currently PPS4, Policy EC14).
