Employment development which would provide or include office or workshop accommodation suitable for new or small businesses (including managed workspace units) will be welcomed within the Main Towns of Atherstone & Mancetter and Polesworth & Dordon subject to no more than 2000 sq m of new employment floorspace being created within these settlements and where it:
1. Makes productive use of upper floors above town centre retail premises, provided existing or potential residential accommodation and affordable housing in particular is not thereby displaced; or
2. Is provided in the form of live/work units.
Elsewhere, the provision of accommodation suitable for new or small businesses will be welcomed where it:
1. Facilitates the adaptation and re-use of existing rural buildings in accordance with policy ECON9; or
2. Diversifies and enhances the range of employment opportunities in existing industrial estates listed in policy ECON1, subject to no more than 2000 sq m of new employment floorspace being created within those at Coleshill and the Local Service Centres combined.
In all cases, conditions may be imposed to prevent any subsequent expansion or extension of such accommodation that would result in it no longer being suitable for the provision of managed workspace/starter units in accordance with the terms of this policy.
