We note that the strategy set out at Paragraph 5.19 identifies the importance to retain retail expenditure within Rye through a qualitative improvement in local retailing. However, we believe that this paragraph needs to be more explicit as to the nature of the need (i.e. convenience goods shopping supplemented by some ancillary comparison goods floorspace1) and provide a broad indication of the scale of and nature retail development (namely a new foodstore) required to be able to stem the very substantial level of convenience expenditure outflow, thus helping to retain retail expenditure within Rye.
