As has been set out in previous representations to the Plan, IM also control an area of land to the east of the M42.
This land is bound by the BVP estate road to the south, the A3400 to the east, and the M42 to the west

Whilst the site lies within the Green Belt, it is considered to be in a suitable location for further employment uses due to proximity to the motorway network and the cluster of high quality employment uses that have developed in this location, based at both BVP and Fore Business Park
Whilst the site was not specifically considered within the PBA Employment Land Review report in 2017, it has many of the same characteristics as the wider BVP site. It therefore has strong potential to form part of the wider BVP scheme.

The 2020 SHELAA assessed the site and confirms that there would be ‘good’ demand attractiveness to occupiers. Analysis of the HEDNA shows there is a greater need for employment sites within the Borough than have currently been identified. It is therefore respectfully requested that further consideration is given to the potential of this site to meet this need.
