Assessment criteria for non-B uses on employment sites

Planning applications for non-B uses on employment sites will be assessed based on whether the use is ancillary to the employment location, existing ancillary uses on site, and whether the site can sustain the proposed use.

When determining planning applications for non B uses on employment sites in the context of Policy EC4 consideration will be given to the following: The nature of the use proposed and whether it is considered as ancillary to the functioning of the wider employment location; Existing ancillary uses already operating (or recently benefiting from planning consent) on the employment site; and the size of the employment site and its ability to sustain the proposed use.
