The LPA’s adopted policy consists of the Adopted Core Strategy (2012), Site Allocations Document (SAD) (2018) and the associated Policies Maps. <br /> <br /> The Local Authority current have an emerging Local Plan at examination. The Site sits within the Hilton Main Industrial Site which is a designated Strategic Employment Site within the local development plan. Policy EV1 states ‘Sites and premises used and/or allocated for industrial or commercial purposes (B1, B2 and B8) purposes will be safeguarded for that use.’ Use Class B1 has since been superseded by Use Class E, with subparts thereof applicable for development in this area. The emerging local plan, that could be adopted in 2026, permits uses within classes E(g), B2, B8 or related sui generis uses. As such, the planning potential is very good for any industrial process or uses; a storage and distribution or any employment-generating sui generis use deemed compatible with the wider industrial site<br><br>
