To safeguard and manage land in Borough Employment Areas (BEA):

A. The following uses will be supported:

  1. Offices (Class E Part G i), subject to compliance with Policy 39 ‘New Retail, Office and Leisure Developments’;
  2. Workspaces (Class E Part G);
  3. Research and development of products or processes (Class E Part G ii); and iv. Uses ancillary to the above;

B. New development will be supported where it:

  1. Provides improved high-quality, fit for purpose employment space and infrastructure;
  2. Allows for future flexibility, including future subdivision and/or amalgamation for a range of employment uses; and
