The intention of this policy is torecognise that most of the industrialestates in the District are closely related to existing residential areas and/or may haveaccess constraints, and that there are some specific types of use, for example those whichrequire very large sites, which may be difficult to accommodate on small industrial estatesin towns.13.1.2 Tattersett Business Park is identified for such uses on the basis that such an allocation:would be well related to existing employment uses already established on the site;would enjoy good access to the strategic highway network; andadditional development could provide the basis for securing environmentalimprovements on the site such as improved landscaping.13.1.3 This site is considered suitable for a range of possible employment uses that may otherwisebe difficult to accommodate elsewhere. These need not, and should not, result inunneighbourly impacts and each planning application would continue to be determined onits merits.Constraints13.1.4 The site is understood to have poor quality infrastructure (roads, drainage and electricity)and substantial upgrades may be required prior to any further development taking place.The Council regards further development on the site to be a mechanism for securingsubstantial improvements in the sites appearance and these enhancements will need tobe agreed before any development will be permitted.13.1.5 The site lies in water quality source protection zone 1/2 as identified by the EnvironmentAgency and only clean, uncontaminated surface water should be discharged to anysoakaway, watercourse or surface water sewer.
