Retention of Economic Development Land - Justification
Economic development land and buildings that are well-located and suited to such purposes should be retained, with loss to other uses only considered in exceptional circumstances.
It is important that economic development land and buildings which are well-located and suited to such purposes are retained and only exceptionally will the Department consider the loss of such land and buildings to other uses. The Department is keen to support the diversity of the local economy and the retention of existing sites for economic development is often necessary to achieve this aim.
