Purpose

This knowledge builder considers the evolvement of business parks from the early 1970’s out-of-town, prefabricated, industrial and office provision surrounded by extensive car parking. In that early period, some local planning authorities granted permission for this new form of development without any real understanding of the demands for space and the impact upon existing business uses.

Benefits

Planning seeks to balance the demands of business with environmental and social considerations. The newly created Regional Spatial Strategies are intended to be a mechanism to help manage these competing pressures.
