Local authority for the Stirling Council areaEmployment safeguard areas (local development plan) planning - open data Edit
Employment safeguard areas are designated by local authorities within their Local Development Plans (LDPs) to protect land for business, industrial, and other employment-generating uses. These areas are identified based on economic need, demand for employment land, and their suitability for various industries.
By safeguarding key employment sites, local authorities aim to support economic growth, attract investment, and prevent the loss of strategically important land to competing uses such as housing. Policies governing these areas ensure that development proposals align with economic objectives while balancing local land use pressures.
Decisions on employment safeguard areas are guided by national planning policies, economic strategies, and local priorities to maintain a diverse and resilient economy.
