Policy EMP4 (Development Outside of the Existing Business Areas)

Business developments upon sites outside of the Existing Recognised Business Areas or the Town Centre Commercial Core Area will not be permitted unless it can be demonstrated that all of the following criteria can be met:

  • the site is not suitable for residential development;
  • there is no suitable alternative site available within the existing business areas or the town centre;
  • the proposed development is well served by public transport;
  • it would not harm the character or amenity of adjoining areas; and
  • the traffic from the proposed development can be accommodated upon the road network.

Proposals for the expansion of an existing firm may be permitted as an exception to the above, provided it does not require land outside of the existing site boundary.
