Representation Summary:

Economic Development is traditionally viewed within the confines of B1, B2 and B8. However, in Conwy is encompasses tourism, retailing, farm diversification and production etc.

Our response:

Not accepted. The 50/50 split is evidenced in the Employment Land Review Background paper. Overall supply will be considered when deciding on use class for new allocated employment sites.
