IE3: Catering for Modern Business Needs
To attract businesses to the Borough; support the retention, creation and development of local businesses, promote business competitiveness and allow for flexibility to cater for the changing needs of the economy, the Council will:
- Support proposals to redevelop outmoded employment floorspace to cater for modern business needs;
- Encourage a range of types and sizes of new employment floorspace;
- Seek the retention/re-provision of incubator units, small warehousing units and small serviced office accommodation unless comprehensive marketing has been carried out for at least one year;
- Support provision of new incubator units, small warehousing units and small serviced office accommodation;
- Support small scale rural offices or other small-scale rural employment development, through conversion or redevelopment of existing buildings to provide well-designed business premises, provided they accord with the Council’s Green Belt policies.
