Omission this policy needs to provide clear guidance as to how long a property has to be empty before it is considered suitable for a change of use. With the removal of the terms 'within the confines'. There is clear opening for people to be develop empty sheds etc thoughout the district, with little policy restriction. The intent of this policy is not the same of the GPDO part Q which allows for the change of use of vacant agricultural buildings without the requirement for planning permission.

The modification is welcomed and supported. .
