Developer contributions to mitigate employment loss

If the site is not suitable for mixed-use development the council will consider the use Developer Contributions to help mitigate the loss of employment uses which is otherwise contrary to planning policy. The nature of the contribution will take account of: • the type of employment uses being lost; • the number of people that could have been employed. The number of displaced employees that would be unable to find new employment; • the cost of providing the training and support necessary to enable a person to gain employment; and • whether a proposal seeks to retain a significant element of employment land.
