In considering proposals for new office development, preference will be given to proposals that involve:

1. The re-use or redevelopment of existing, vacant office premises; or
2. Sites in town centres, provided that such sites are highly accessible by public transport, are intended to host mixed use schemes, and there would be no harm caused to the vitality and viability of the town centres.

Proposals for offices outside town centres or in areas of low accessibility will usually not be acceptable.
