Whilst the overall approach is broadly supported, the way this policy is expressed is considered to be overly prescriptive in requiring "at least eqUivalent" jobs to the existing floorspace. A flexible approach is reqUired in line with the recommendations of the Employment Land Review. The redevelopment of old and unsuitable stock will attract investment to the area even if it is providing a lower amount of floorspace than the existing, and therefore would have a lower potential for job creation based on notional employment densities.
