We write to comment and seek amendments to Policy EMP3 'PROTECTION OF EXISTING EMPLOYMENT SITES AND PREMISES'.
We note that while the the title of Policy EMP3 refers to 'existing employment sites and premises', it is clear form the text of the policy that it also applies to 'Major Employment Sites'. The Proposals Map identifies 'existing employment' and 'major employment' sites separately and with different boundaries, such that 'major employment' sites includes land which is not an existing employment location (eg land at Bro Tathan North as well as land at Cardiff Airport).
In order to avoid any confusion regarding the application of Policy EMP3, we believe it should be re-named 'PROTECTION OF ALLOCATED AND EXISTING EMPLOYMENT SITES AND PREMISES'.
Finally, given the Welsh Government's objectives for the site to cater for general employment demands (including specialised/niche employers, operators requiring air-side facilities and inward investors seeking a very large single site opportunity), we consider the policy should refer to “Bro Tathan Business Park” rather than “Bro Tathan Aerospace and Business Park”.
