Aims and Objectives
The South Lanarkshire Local Plan - Land for Work and Business Policies set out the land use planning requirements for industrial, business and office developments in South Lanarkshire. The policies' objectives are:
- Protect existing industrial areas and estates and enhance their quality
- Provide and safeguard a range of sites suitable for a variety of size and type of industrial development
- Ensure that new development  is sustainable and relates well to the transportation network of the Local Plan area
Conclusion
The conclusion of this initial impact assessment is that there are no adverse impacts on any part of the community covered by equalities legislation, or on community relations. This is due to the nature of the Land for Work and Business policies which identify the land use planning requirements in relation to the provision of new developments. Detailed design requirements for new developments are addressed in other policies within the Local Plan. Consultation on all Local Plan policies is undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning legislation
