Land take should be solely considered on an economic growth approach32
Policy SS10The City Council , in co-operation with regeneration partners, will, where resourcespermit, actively seek to accelerate the take-up of employment land by:a) where appropriate, support public acquisition of key developmentsites and preparing and marketing them for development;b) where appropriate, considering acquisition of derelict sites andpreparing them for development through reclamation;c) where appropriate, working with the external groups and organisationsat a regional and sub-regional level to promote joint ventures betweenthe public and private sectors in assembling and developingemployment sites; and seeking to promote the carrying out inemployment improvement areas a programme of infrastructural andenvironmental improvements to improve their appearance andattractiveness for further investment;d) promoting the city as a sound location for investment;e) directly or jointly assisting in the marketing and publicising ofemployment development sites.Reasoned Justification3.35 Historically rates of employment land take-up have been relatively low. Theappearance, location and physical condition of vacant industrial land may havedissuaded potential investors in the past and so a need exists to ensure developmentsites are more attractive and competitive.3.36 More recently over the past five years land-take up has increased. The NSIEDSidentified that the levels of take-up in North Staffordshire averaged around 14.1hectares throughout the area over the past eight years. However, the increase ininvestment in the area by major logistics and distribution developments make up alarge percentage of this. On this basis excluding developments brought forward in2002 and 2003, the annual take up falls to around 8.4 hectares which is lower thanthe total supply proposed over the period to 2021. Such figures are of some merit inidentifying that a positive policy approach to employment land promotion and theidentification of ways in which sites will be brought forward and for what type of usesare important. Direct comparisons of land take or the sole use of past trends are ofonly limited use in the promotion of a strategy approach to economic prosperity.Proposed high-quality, high density central area employment development in thefuture is a fundamental cornerstone of a deliverable strategy which can shape futuremarket requirements through regeneration activity rather than just perpetuating pasttrends.3.37 The employment land take for 2004/2005 was around 14 hectares (excluding suigenerisuses) which again identifies a higher take-up of land in more recent years andgives a good basis for a portfolio of land which builds on this and guides regenerationand prosperity.33
