Object to the additional requirement that "the use does not prejudice the operation of and market attractiveness of the wider employment area."
Draft Appendix C does not provide guidance, or any definition of, "the benchmarks" against which "market attractiveness" is judged.
In general, this policy does not fully reflect principles embodied in Central Government policy (Use Classes Order and GPDOs), which enable the change of use of offices to residential.
However, the opportunity for proposed leisure or community uses on existing employment sites is welcomed.
