B. High amenity use classes 4, 5 and 6 – this category is typified by the newer industrial parks, where a broad range of activity is still acceptable, but where a better quality of development will be required and where, for example, open storage is likely to be unacceptable. It is anticipated that development will reflect modern design standards and materials, with a greater control over ancillary areas (e.g. parking and vehicle circulation) and the location and visibility of plant rooms etc., with a higher quality of on-site landscaping. C. High amenity use classes 4 and 5 – West Lothian, and Livingston in particular, has a history of development for industrial and business uses in the highest quality settings. For example, Kirkton Campus is characterised by very low densities; modern or innovative design using high quality materials; and is in a highly landscaped setting. Careful control has been exercised over the height of buildings and the layout of individual sites to ensure that they are unobtrusive. Development for class 6 (storage and distribution), which may require significant eaves height and generate a high level of heavy vehicle traffic are precluded. D. Office only – while recognising the flexibility that is afforded by use class 4, allowing development for office, research and development, as well as light industrial uses, in the same locality, the LDP also recognises that in certain locations development for industrial use may still be inappropriate. The inclusion of this category is therefore intended to ensure that development will take place exclusively for office purposes. Sites included in this category will include the flagship Alba Campus (which is normally restricted to class 4 usess), as well as established office parks, such as Almondvale and Fairways, all in Livingston, protecting the status and quality of these office parks. Specialist categories E. Use class 4 and ancillary uses – the LDP recognises the need for the provision of service activities within or adjacent to industrial and office parks, to cater for demand from those working in the vicinity. Accordingly a small number of sites have been allocated for a class 4 use, or ancillary activities, such as a crèche, leisure centre, hotel or restaurant, that will complement the local business use. F. Use class 6 only – recent trends in distribution and logistics have seen a change in the scale and nature of development associated with those activities. In response West Lothian has allocated a specialist site dedicated to development for that purpose, at J4M8 to the south west of Bathgate. Ready access to the M8 makes this location ideal for large scale use class 6 development, of a high standard of design, in a well landscaped setting. G. Single user sites –Scottish Planning Policy (2014) no longer requires national safeguarding of single user sites.) However, there are some sites in West Lothian where a single user expansion to an existing facility is desirable to safeguard the opportunity of a successful single user employer to locate or expand (see H below). H. Single user expansion – This category reflects the existence of additional development land that would facilitate the future expansion of these major employers, but which would not be suitable for alternative business or industrial development. I. Open Storage only – it is understood that the ground conditions in certain areas, which have been subject to land rehabilitation and/or shallow mine workings, will preclude the construction of buildings. Accordingly the allocation of sites in this category reflects the suitability of these sites for open storage only. J. Enterprise Area Status – The West Lothian Enterprise Area comprises four individual sites across Broxburn and Livingston, supporting food and drink manufacturing opportunities in West Lothian. In addition to existing business support provided through Business Gateway and Scottish Enterprise, companies setting up in the Enterprise Area site will benefit from: Business Rates Relief Skills and training support from SDS Streamlined planning procedures High speed broadband connections in line with the vision outlined in Scotland’s Digital Future – International marketing and support from SDI Infrastructure Action Plan. K. Strategic employment opportunity – a site that has the potential in the medium to longer term for a strategic employment opportunity for a single user, likely to be a high quality class 4 development. NOTE: The requirements set out in this Appendix are site specific. Requirements arising from any relevant Supplementary Guidance (SG) produced by the council will also apply. 97 98 West Lothian Local Development Plan 2018: Adopted Plan Employment Land Allocations E-BA 3 E-BB 3 E-BB 2 E-BB 1 E-BA 2 E-BA 1 E-AD 1 Site Ref (Including Blackburn Estate)Whitehill Industrial Site Ref Bathgate Site Ref Addiewell Wester Inch Pottishaw Place 2 Road Inchmuir 1) Road Riddochill (Inchmuir Inch Wood South Easter Inch Addiewell West Address Address Address remaining) construction) 2.46* (site (site 2.46* Area (ha) Area (ha) Area (ha) 6.5 (area under under 0.35 2.46 29.2 1.9 3 Private/WLC Ownership Ownership Ownership Enterprise/ Enterprise Scottish Scottish Scottish Scottish Private Private Private Private 4, 5,6 4, 5,6 class class class Use Use Use Use 4, 5 4, 5 & 6 & 6 6 4 6 Category Category Category H A A B B E F Use ofexisting internal access road. drip-line). crown trees to buildings from stand-off 10m (Minimum boundary west on woodland mature existing of Protection Assessment required Risk Flood only. warehouse bonded to extension for Site Site beingdeveloped ascouncil depot Vehicular access andpedestrian ontoroad Inchmuir Contaminated landassessment required. crown drip-line). tree to buildings from stand-off 10m (Minimum boundary, southern the along planting woodland structural Retain boundary.strategy alongnorth improvement environmental A89/A7066 with Compliance Infrastructure &otherrequirements E-BB5 Pottishaw to thewest in created footpath to required links footpath new and site of of Wayeast Right existing to required links Footpath Decontamination ofsite isrequired. required Assessment Drainage and Assessment Risk Flood Infrastructure &otherrequirements Suitable for sub-division with adjacent residential atSteading.
