Respondent: Mrs Fiona Jury
The existing employment site is in multiple ownerships and has a high occupancy level. Whilst it is undoubtedly the most sustainable employment location and is within an easy walking distance of the town centre and railway station, it is a well established employment location. PPS4 supports the safeguarding of land from other uses such as residential at a local level. The loss of long-term employment uses in this location would undermine wider sustainability objectives, and the role of the Town Centre.
