East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy 2005/06

Policy 22: Regional Priorities for Employment Land
Looks for Local Authorities and Sub-Regional
Strategic Partnerships to work together to:
- Ensure that by the allocation and de-allocation
of employment land (B1, B2, B8) through the
development plan process and selective public
investment, there is adequate supply of land for
office and industrial uses available for
development in sustainable locations
- Bring forward allocated employment sites to
meet the specific requirements of potential
investors
- Review employment land allocations in their
areas to ensure that they are relevant to current
and future requirements, and that surplus
employment land is considered for beneficial
alternative use
- Monitor gains and losses in the overall supply of
industrial and office floorspace
Target: To meet local needs
Indicators:
• Net change in office and industrial land / floorspace
and proportion on Previously Developed Land
• Employment land supply by type
• Private sector view
