We write to comment and seek amendments to Policy EMP4 'NON-EMPLOYMENT PROPOSALS ON EXISTING EMPLOYMENT AREAS AND PREMISES'
We note that while the the title of Policy EMP4 refers to 'existing employment areas 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 'NON-EMPLOYMENT PROPOSALS ON ALLOCATED AND EXISTING EMPLOYMENT AREAS AND PREMISES'.
Furthermore, the opening paragraph of text to Policy EMP4 cross refers to Policy EMP2: 'Development proposals on existing employment sites and premises identified in Policy EMP2 will be subject to the following restrictions:...' Policy EMP2 relates to MOD St Athan. We believe this cross reference should be to Policy EMP3.
