My client also owns the site of Dreadnought Business Park, for which further phases of development are planned. It is noted that part of the "Strategic High Quality Employment Area" allocation covers this site and also includes a small parcel of land which connects with Tansey Green Road. Due to the size and parameters of this small site, it is unlikely to be included withinany plans for an extension of the Dreadnought Business Park.

Policy DLP 21 allows for non-designated Employment Areas to be re-classified for alternative uses. However, as this parcel of land is included within a designation / allocated Employment site, there is no scope under DLP21 for any re-classificiation if this small parcel of land is left undeveloped and there is no prospect of this small piece of land being developed for Employment uses in isolation.

On behalf of my client, and with specific reference to this small parcel of land, we would request that it is either removed from the designation (pink colouring) to allow alternative more appropriate uses to be put forward, or a change in the wording of Policy DLP21 to allow such small "designated" sites to also be re-classified as per the wording of DLP21.
