The re-use of the four employment sites for housing or other alternative uses is counter-productive to the overall strategy for the District, and promotes unsustainable practice. If this approach is endorsed, it will require a further Green Belt release to accommodate the businesses displaced from these sites. It does not represent the most appropriate re-use of the land when the sites are well established employment locations with good occupancy rates.
