Change of Use or Redevelopment of Unzoned Industrial Sites

Planning permission will not normally be granted for the change of use, or the redevelopment for other uses, of unzoned sites or premises in settlements used or last used for industrial and storage or distribution purposes, except in the circumstances outlined in the policy above. For instance, the redevelopment of an existing industrial or storage and distribution site with a mixed use scheme, as a specific regeneration initiative to meet the needs of a particular locality and providing a significant element of employment or community uses are integrated into the overall development scheme.
