Why these rules

Multi-let industrial developers want main routes in or near towns; 40 m across fits a row of units and their yard. National policy supports rural business growth, on previously developed land where it can (NPPF, August 2026, E4). Housing estates and villages are left out (at most 10 addresses a hectare and 50 in all): 95% of housing sites have more than 11 a hectare and half of industrial sites under 5.

Woodland is left out.
