Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 397
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: JTS Partnership LLP
Representation Summary:
The policy does not reflect the fundamental changes that are happening in this sector and the move towards online retailing and the reduction in demand for traditional retail units (which is being experienced nationwide). The proposal to allow no further loss of Class A1 retail units, within primary shopping frontages, and to also retain 60% of units in secondary frontages and shopping parades in Class A1 retail use, does not reflect the market, not justified in the supporting text (or evidence base). JTS objects to the policy and the lack of a Proposals Map identifying 'primary' and 'secondary' frontages.
