line with the Governments key objectives for town centres, which is to promote theirvitality and viability by planning for the growth and development of existing centres,focussing development within these centres and encouraging a wide range ofservices in a good environment, which is accessible to all. Such an approach createsa safer city having mixed use developments which incorporate a range of day andnight time activities which can also develop a strong sense of community.3.26 Wherever possible, growth should be accommodated by more efficient use of landand buildings within existing centres. Planning for an increase in office developmentand high-sector jobs is essential in ensuring that the regeneration of the city centreand town centres is developed in a sustainable manner. Coupled with specificpolicies for industrial land development policies promotion of specific types ofemployment and industrial sites to meet different commercial requirements willspecifically aid in providing a clear and concise method for approaching thesequential test to site selection and to ensuring the right type of development at theright scale in the right location prioritising the development of a wealthier city. Theprovision of a broad development portfolio without the identification of specific sitesfor office and commercial use could allow for more unsustainable patterns ofdevelopment and use of valuable industrial land for piecemeal office development.MonitoringIndicatorLand permitted for non ancillary office usesoutside town centres and employmentportfolio sites.Target0Links to Strategic Aims3.27 SA8 To increase investment in the economy and broaden the employment base ofNorth Staffordshire, including the development of new types of work anddiversification of existing businesses.SA9SA11To encourage the growth of the further and higher education sector andtraining facilities to meet the needs of indigenous and incoming employersand North Staffordshire residents.To ensure a balanced portfolio of good quality and available employment landis provided and maintained to meet the needs of existing businesses andpotential inward investors.Thematic options3.28 1.

Such an approachcan strengthen a strategic sustainable approach which recognises that officedevelopment is appropriate to town centres, adding to their diversity, vitality,supporting and extending their services and contributing to town centre regeneration.3.30 In allocating a portfolio of sites whereby any business, commercial or industrialoperator can locate provides flexibility but also largely increases the amount of landrequired to be available at any one time and increases the attractiveness of siteswhich are readily available in out of town locations for operators which attract a highpercentage of car borne travel.3.31 In a balanced approach to bringing together strategic and land use planning, as setout in NSIEDS, there is a market requirement for businesses to locate in developmentareas of a lower density than in centre locations with additional operational land, asrequired. Not-in centre large office development should be demonstrated asappropriate, where it is accessible by public transport, making a significantcontribution to the diversification of the local economy. Such developments couldprovide an imbalance in the mix of uses appropriate to centres.3.32 In developing a policy approach to securing new development these requirementscan be accommodated in locations close to city and town centres, where appropriate,without having to be accommodated on larger sites outside centres with little or noconnectivity to their function. Such out-of-centre locations can be made available for31
