<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Monitoring</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2007</strong><br />

There is a clear need to support the sustainability of villages throughout the <strong>Borough</strong> by<br />

safeguarding and enhancing the supply of employment land in rural areas. Rural areas<br />

need an adequate supply of employment land in order to attract businesses and investment<br />

and maintain a healthy number of rural jobs.<br />

The current level of employment land supply should be retained and safeguarded throughout<br />

the <strong>Borough</strong>. In the case of small, fragmented town centre employment sites, future policy<br />

should consider the potential for re-use on a site-by-site basis, based on their physical<br />

characteristics, role in the local economy and demand by businesses and customers. Any<br />

releases of low quality urban employment sites should be matched by the allocation of<br />

new, high-quality employment sites within urban areas.<br />

In general, there is no evident justification for significant release of employment land in the<br />

<strong>Borough</strong>, other than on a selective, site by site consideration basis. It is also recommended<br />

that any release of employment land (because of physical and market constraints) should<br />

be accompanied by a respective allocation of new sites that meet the geographical and<br />

qualitative needs of the market at the time.<br />
