Given the level of development proposed, it warrants a local centre which can meet the needs of the new residents.

It would be entirely sustainable to provide a local centre which includes a quality supermarket and in developing the Masterplan, this provision should be made.

The Masterplan recognises under paragraph 6.11 that the quantum for retail provision will be dependent on the housing numbers and type/scale of such employment that comes forward and, as such, we agree that the minimum of a small foodstore should be provided.

The Masterplan should ensure that there is sufficient flexibility for suitable retail provision.
