Representation Summary:
Policy S3 advises of the future requirement for additional employment land and that research has shown that there is currently on-going demand for business premises. Our clients site at Academy Place has not expereinced that and therefore we consider that the strategy should recognise that not all sites continue to be attractive to the market. Where sites are no longer suitable for employment, as in this case, as evidenced by long periods of vacancy and on-going marketing, then the policy should recognise that alternative uses, either through re-use or redevelopment should be acceptable to help meet plan requirements.
