Representation Summary:
Policy DM8 – New employment development in the countryside –
This policy is intended to replace Local Plan 2030 Policy 75 in order to make it more effective in its implementation.
We support the amendments to this policy, which include an update to the wording at criterion (i) which now allows new development within an existing employment area whereas previously, this criterion related only to development within a defined employment area. This provides greater flexibility for sustainable development to come forward on existing employment sites within the countryside.
