The exclusion of the site from the Preferred Options allocations represents a missed opportunity to
make effective use of previously developed land in a sustainable location. The site:
 Is already in established employment use;
 Is deliverable in the short to medium term;
 Is well suited to SME-scale employment floorspace;
 Can provide economic growth without reliance on greenfield release;
 Sits logically alongside nearby allocations and existing rural businesses.
Allocation of the site would therefore assist the Local Plan in being positively prepared and effective,
ensuring a sufficient and flexible supply of employment land. See attached
