Policy continues to only specifically allow for consideration of no reasonable prospect of re-use for employment purposes for sites outside the Employment Areas. Ambiguity in the supporting paragraphs as 9.32.2 and 9.32.4 suggest that the no reasonable prospect test could be applied to Employment Area land.
NPPF paragraph 120 relates to allocated land and recommends the use of the no reasonable prospect test. Recommend DM33 is amended to allow the test to be applied to all defined Employment Area land. Will ensure plan is consistent with national guidance and flexible to deal with changing market needs. Important given surplus allocation.

Welcome the recognition at para 9.33.6 of the need for ABP’s specific operational requirements and consents and licences for the handling and storage of hazardous substances to be taken into account in any development planned in the vicinity of these areas.

Support that outside of defined Employment Areas, the conversion, change of use or redevelopment of sites and premises in employment use to non-employment uses will be permitted, subject to criteria c - e. Land at Burrell Road is located outside of defined Employment Areas, and it is considered that the redevelopment of the site to residential use would be a more effective use of land in accordance with Paragraph 117 of the NPPF. The proposed development is also compatible with the surrounding uses which comprise predominantly residential uses. The site should therefore be included as an allocation for residential development.
The site should be included as an allocation for residential development.
