I agree that premises/land that has previously been designated for business use that has stood empty or abandoned for a set length of time should be redeveloped. I also think that business premises where the owners have failed to pay business rates for the same length of time should be considered for redevelopment once the company accounts have been inspected and there is no likelihood that the rates will paid. Businesses in this situation will not be able to sustain a business nor pay any employees.
