The Employment and non-residential land availability survey monitors the availability, distribution and loss of employment and non-residential land over 0.4 ha (gross) or over 500 square metres (gross) suitable for industrial, office, warehousing or other commercial development. It provides a record of "gains" and "losses" (the latter monitored for the first time in the 2007 survey) of employment and non-residential land and buildings categorised as either:
- New build on 'greenfield' or undeveloped sites or
- Re-development or change of use of existing sites and buildings; or
- Extension of existing buildings and premises to create new office, industrial, warehousing or other developments
The survey does not cover "small-scale" developemnt and restricts analysis to sites of 0.4ha (gross) and over 500 square metres (gross). On safeguarded employment areas identified in the South Gloucestershire local plan (policy E4) all new development is monitored.
The survey does not provide a record of vacant or available office, industrial, warehouse or other commercial sites/floorspace.
