Appropriate town centre sites should be allocated to meet growing retail needs in line with housing need. Further clarification needed on how local needs of new strategic residential allocations would be met. Provision is made in the Retail and Commercial Leisure Study (2014) for directing some identified retail floorspace to serve a strategic allocation, which is supported. Local retail need should be met in full, including retail need created by new strategic housing allocation(s). Additional new retail to support strategic sites creates accessible facilities and sustainable shopping patterns, while not to the detriment of Brentwood Town Centre's vitality and viability.
