problematic. Nothing in this Review suggests a change is necessary in thepermissible uses. The current uses are considered appropriate and should bepermissible in the zone, and not rely on existing use rights.• In the IN2 Zone the Draft LMLEP 2013 shows permissible uses including lightindustry, hardware and buildings supplies, landscaping material supplies, plantnurseries, warehouses and distribution centres amongst other uses. However,the following uses that are proposed to be permissible in the B7 zone would notbe permissible in the IN2 zone: office premises, research station, publicadministration building, community facility, schools, education establishment,health services, medical centres, health consulting rooms, and passengertransport facility. This is not a conclusive list.The existing and desired precinct character is important to the decision about whether theconversion should be to IN2 or B7. Uses such as transport, truck, and freight transportdepots appear to operate at the current time and these uses are generally notpermissible in the B7 Zone. The B7 zone does allow health and education related useswhich may be considered appropriate and potentially supportive of the adjacent towncentre and open space area.4.4.6 Significant Industrial Sites – Neighbourhood Centre PrecinctThere are a number of large sites developed to a low intensity that could be redevelopedto a high intensity employment use.
