Employment 66 and the Economy South Derbyshire Local Plan PART 1 THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK EMPLOYMENT & THE ECONOMY Introduction 6.1 The policies in this Chapter seek to meet the employment development requirements identified in Policy S5. Strategic Employment Land Allocations Policy E1 Strategic Employment Land Allocations 2011- 2028 A Development of the following sites will not be permitted other than for new industrial and business development as defined by classes B1(b), B1(c), B2 and B8 of the Use Classes Order: B At sites allocated for strategic employment development at E1A, E1B, E1C and E1E the Council will secure provision to meet the needs of small and “grow on” businesses in the form of premises or serviced plots, to be brought forward during the course of the development, either by conditions or a legal agreement attached to a planning permission. C Further development will also be supported at Dove Valley Park and Land at Sinfin Moor, in accordance with Policies E4 and E5 Explanation 6.2 As noted in Chapter 4, net total employment land need for the plan period in the remainder of South Derbyshire, beyond the Derby Urban Area, is 42.27 ha. 6.3 New land will be at Hilton Business Park to the north for 3.7 hectares and to the east of Hilton Business Park for 3.25 hectares. Parts of the established business park are also to be retained for industrial and business use. 93 6.4 In the Swadlincote urban area new land will be at Cadley Hill (3ha) and the Woodville Regeneration Area (12 ha). The extent of the latter is subject to securing public infrastructure funding toward the development of the proposed Swadlincote Regeneration Route which will have a bearing on the mix of uses on the site. 6.5 For the remainder of the District beyond the Derby Urban Area the additional employment sites in the plan period will bring the total provision to around 82 hectares. 6.6 Development can also be expected to come forward on small unallocated sites through extensions to existing businesses and rural diversification schemes. 6.7 The remainder of the strategic allocation comprises sites with planning consent at Dove Valley Business Park, Tetron Point and the former Drakelow power station site. 6.8 Dove Valley Business Park has been successful in attracting business investment to the District, largely as a consequence of it being directly connected to the A50 trunk road. Much of the land with planning consent for industrial and business uses on this brownfield site has now been developed. However, a number of plots remain available. 6.9 In Swadlincote, provision is made for continued employment development adjacent to the A444, on land to the south of Cadley Hill Industrial Estate. 6.10 At the former Drakelow power station site, an area of 12 ha adjacent to proposed new housing development has the benefit of planning consent to be redeveloped for industrial and business purposes. 6.11 Further land has been allocated for employment-led regeneration on a regeneration site in Woodville, (see Policy E6). 6.12 As noted under Policy INF3, there is market interest in the establishment of new Strategic Rail Freight interchanges in this part of the East Midlands. The development of such a proposal within South Derbyshire would be expected to generate new employment on a significant scale, with wide ranging strategic planning implications. 6.13 The South Derbyshire Economic Development Strategy identifies a shortage of start-up and grow-on business accommodation in the District. To help meet this need, conditions will be attached to future planning consents for development of the strategic employment sites at Hilton, Cadley Hill, Dove Valley Park and the Woodville Regeneration Area requiring the provision of an element of smaller units of up to 100m2 in size and “grow-on” units of up to 500m2 in size, and/or small, serviced plots allowing owner occupiers to develop bespoke 94 South Derbyshire Employment Policy 1: Strategic Employment Land Allocations - District Council E1D TETRON POINT AND E1A & E1G CADLEY HILL WAY DIN M NA WILLIA A514 E1D E1D A 4 4 4 B U R T O C A N D L R E O R Y Y H A D IL E L D R R O AD C A O LO D R ILL S Y H E LE AD C 14 A5 SE O CL YDER E R D A L G Y B E L P A P 4 A 4 4 B E1A E U N R A L T E O T O N C IN R L O D E1G A A W D S D A O R N TO LU E N A L E T O B C R N U I L N D E L A W W S A Y Crown copyright.

Such provision will help support the establishment, expansion and retention of businesses within the District. As a minimum, ten percent of the land/floorspace within the total area of each site should be developed for these purposes. 6.14 New housing at Hilton (Policy H7) and the Woodville Regeneration Area (Policy E6) will be tied, through planning conditions, to the provision of business accommodation, including small business units and serviced plots, to ensure the timely delivery of balanced, sustainable development. Such provision will also be required by condition in relation to any applications for the renewal of planning consent at the former Drakelow power station site (Policy H6) and Cadley Hill (Policy H5).
