NP/E1 – Retaining and encouraging Employment
Subject to permitted development rights relevant at the time.
NP/E1.1 Proposals for the redevelopment or change of use of an existing site where the current use provides jobs to a use where jobs will not be provided will only be permitted if the applicant demonstrates that all possible appropriate alternative job providing options have been considered and actively marketed on a realistic basis for a period of at least 12 months without any economically viable options resulting.
For the avoidance of doubt, the applicant shall be required to demonstrate that conversion for occupation by micro or small businesses is not an economically viable option.
NP/E1.2 Applications for development that will result in the creation of jobs will be required to demonstrate that:
- Any parking, noise, lighting, vibration, smell and emissions likely to be generated will not adversely impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties and the more generally surrounding area AND
- The proposed development will not have an adverse impact on the safety of road users and pedestrians or on traffic congestion. This is especially the case where the proposal is in, or is accessed through, a residential area.
