Para 8.146 and Policy DM25 seek to restrict uses on Employment Sites to those in the B Class. It is suggested this is infexible and there should be recognition of the role of all forms of economic development in employment creation. Wider uses can include retail and town centre uses, but also Sui Generis, in particular car showrooms. It is recommended that Policy DM25 is amended to include reference to 'Economic Development' rather than B Class uses; if not acceptable there should be reference to acceptable non B class uses and it is recommended car showroom is included.

The policy is unclear: the word 'or' should be inserted after (b) , or (a) and (b) should be combined. The new text at 9.140 also potentially conflicts with criteria at (a) and (b) and should be deleted. The approach to employment sites should be considered in realation to the need for other uses. The evidence base shows more retail and leisure is required and it is requested the Jewson site is allocated to help meet the need. Policy DM25 as written risks prejudicing the supply of retail/town centre floorpsace in suitable locations.

In the light of the Inspector's approach at the Colchester focused changes examination, certain policies will need to be robustly evidenced to substantiate the changes made and the elements of the policy to which no changes have been made. Policy DM25 appears not to recognise the flexibilities demanded by paragraph 22 of the NPPF.

This policy should explicitly acknowledge the important role of Ipswich Port and the need for flexibility to support both port related activities and established industrial uses within the port site.
