    Royal Doulton, Burslem (NLP Ref: ST50) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 4.6 ha Limited market interest/Proximity to incompatible ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 4.6 ha uses/Financial viability issues Amounting to 4.6ha this site fronts onto Nile Street in the north west of the City and is now cleared but formerly comprised the Royal Doulton factory, which closed in 2005. The surrounding area is mixed in terms of use and includes nearby housing. The site, which is situated within the Burslem conservation area, was sold onto St Modwen who began site clearance works in 2008 to provide a mixed use schemeto include a new enterprise centre of c. 6,500 sqm (presumably comprising small B1 units and workshops). However, the recession ensured that a start on this never occurred and it is understood that this permission has now lapsed28. No other development or environmental constraints were identified, although the site has relatively poor local access, since Neil Street is a narrow, one way road that is probably unsuitable for HGVs. The site is considered as having good access to a range of local amenities and services, and is just a short distance away from the A50. In addition, the site has very good access to public transport. However, the fact that it is situated within a conservation area, with housing nearby, coupled with high development costs is likely to preclude development of this site for employment use in isolation. OVERALL SITE GRADE: Average SITE RECOMMENDATION: Consider for mixed use with an element of employment 28 As per application ref: 47897/CAC 9932770v7 Holdcroft Honda, Sneyd Street, Cobridge (NLP Ref: ST51) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 0.72 ha None identified ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 0.22 ha Located on the north side of Sneyd Street at its junction with Leek New Road (the A53) in Cobridge, this partially developed site (0.72ha) mainly comprises a Honda car showroom/garage.

Licence number AL50684A Executive Summary This Employment Land Review has been prepared by Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to inform the preparation of the Councils’ new Joint Local Plan. The study objectively assesses B-Use Class economic development needs in line with the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning Practice Guidance, evaluating specific employment allocations and determining where growth should be accommodated across both local authority areas. The key findings of the study are as follows: Economic Context The local economy of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme has seen substantial levels of restructuring over the past 40 years or so, away from the traditional manufacturing base for which the area was internationally renowned, towards a more service-orientated economy, in particular logistics and distribution. The latter growth is due in no small part to the area’s strategic location at the heart of the UK and its impressive connectivity, with access to excellent road (M6, A50, A500) and rail (West Coast Main Line) links.
