4. Consistent with National Policy
The deletion of the word ‘normally’ from paragraph 7.22 b. removes ambiguity (as there is no definition of what constitutes ‘normal’ in this context) and removes opportunities for applicants to justify that their application represents a departure and that a full 24-month active marketing is not required to justify the lack of viability of the site for employment use. The proposed deletion is in line with paragraph 16 d) of the NPPF.
This modification addresses ECC’s Reg.19 Rep 22404 and the position in the Statement of Common Ground (F17D) between BBC and ECC.

4. Not Consistent with National Policy
ECC objects to the removal of the word “significant”. Criterion A.a. should be strengthened to ensure that there is efficient use of employment land, and to avoid the provision of a “token” amount of employment land to allow release of large amounts of employment land.
