Where sites are specifically allocated for new employment use, rather than simply being within defined Employment Areas, then so long as they constitute high quality employment land then they should be protected from other uses. However, secondary employment sites, even within defined Employment Areas, should not be protected from other uses, including residential. Policy should allow for redevelopment of these areas to provide regeneration and for urban land to be used as efficiently as possible, including mixed developments which may be residential-led.
