Employment development
Overview
This Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) summarises employment planning approvals and completions. These are measured in gross and net floorspace.
The net figures are calculated after deducting the proposed demolition or change of use of existing floorspace.
The gross figures are calculated by using the proposed floorspace only.
| Class | Uses |
|---|---|
| E(g) E(g)(i) | An office to carry out any operational or administrative functions. |
| E(g)(ii) | The research and development of products or processes. |
| E(g)(iii) |
Any industrial process, being a use which can be carried out in any residential area without detriment to the amenity of that area by reason of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, soot, ash, dust or grit. |
| B2 |
General industrial. The carrying on of an industrial process other than one falling within class E(g). |
| B8 | Storage or distribution. The use as storage or as a distribution centre. This includes open air storage. |
Flexible uses are recorded by dividing the non-residential floorspace equally into the use classes it was approved.
All figures reported may be subject to change based on future monitoring.
Use class changes in 2020
The monitoring figures for old use classes have been converted to new use classes to reflect updates to the Use Classes Order. Please note that some planning applications have not specified the sub-class of use classes E(g) and B1 at approval stage. These remain as E(g) in the records for monitoring purposes.
