This policy could be updated to better protect local employment uses. The case to retain and renew existing older employment sites will always struggle economically against alternative plans to redevelop for housing. However, these sites often support important supply chain that is either lost or moves far away. For some sites surrounded by resi, it makes sense to release these for housing, but to retain local employment, specialist skills and diverse communities, not all of these sites should be lost to housing.
