19 Overall Employment Strategy
The Council’s overall strategy towards employment is based on the following points:
- Level of employment To provide sufficient land and floorspace to cater for full employment and provide for different kinds of employment use, whilst avoiding excessive employment growth that would lead to substantial additional commuting into the District;
- Employment Areas To encourage a range of employment uses in the areas defined in Policy 20 and shown on Figure 5;
- Business use in St, Albans City Centre and Harpenden Town Centre To restrict business use development to sites consistent with Policy 23;
- Expansion of Local Firms Account will be taken of the needs of local firms, though proposals should be consistent with other policies in the Plan.
