Policy EC8 –states it will maintain the existing approach set out in adopted Core Strategy Policy EV13. But proposed approach would not remove the NPPF requirement for PDL sites in the Green Belt to not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt, which could inhibit development options. Proposed approach is more limited than existing policy EV14 which allows for the continued occupation of the site by existing non-aviation uses that support the viability and sustainability of the Airport where it is consistent with national policy. Airport will require a more flexible approach to non aviation employment uses to support the operation of the site as an airport. Continuing with a more restricted version of the previous policy approach in the CS will not deliver the significant investment in the site which is needed. Development offers opportunity to facilitate highways/footway improvements and potential for a Dial A Ride minibus.
