Croudace considers that the Core Strategy should include a policy which states that wherever possible existing employment sites should be retained as employment sites unless exceptional circumstances can be justified to support alternative uses. Such a policy is especially required given the increased land values of sites within existing urban locations for residential use and to ensure that existing settlements retain employment sites to promote their long term sustainability .
