CP21 Employment Provision
New employment provision will be met at Kings Hill and on vacant sites within the main employment areas as well as through the intensification or redevelopment of existing employment sites.
Employment areas that:
- are well located to the main road and public transport network; and
- provide, or are physically and viably capable of providing through redevelopment, good quality modern accommodation attractive to the market; and
- are capable of meeting a range of employment uses to support the local economy;
will be safeguarded for such purposes. Redevelopment of such sites for housing, retail or other non-employment uses will not be proposed in the LDF or otherwise permitted.
At the urban areas, defined in Policy CP11 , and the Rural Service Centres listed under Policy CP12, employment development on sites not specifically identified for that purpose will be permitted if there is no significant adverse impact on residential amenity, biodiversity, local character or highway safety.
