ER8 – Adaptable, Innovative and Up to Date Retail and Employment Centres

Applicants of major development proposals including either retail or employment use must submit evidence which demonstrates:

  • That sufficient infrastructure is in place to meet an increase in demand arising from the development.
  • How facilities are adaptable to future occupiers, including where relevant the ability to subdivide offices.
  • The utilisation of latest technologies wherever possible, with regard to deliveries, lighting, security and noise emissions.
