Based on these different categories of
potential tenants and the conceptual and strategic objectives
for the site, a range of development objectives, together
with planning and urban design parameters were defined in
the Master Plan and Development Manual. These remain valuable
guidelines.
Permitted uses were also laid down, although
it was left to the university’s management team to judge
the suitability of individual companies and liase with the
planning authority as required. It was agreed that the planning
authority would need to approve the first occupier of any
building over 20,000 sq. ft. (1,860 sq. m.).
