Paragraph 7.40 and Box 13(e)(ii)
Object to 1,000sq.m. net of convenience (food) floorspace and policy not going further in confirming that this need can and should be met through the expansion of existing foodstore. Consider potential for at least 1,394sq.m net. No other potential sites. Expasnion of existing store is sustainable. Would increase footfall and linked trips within the centre and give it 'critical mass' to compete with larger foodstores elsewhere. Contrary to PPS6. Request wording 'subject to detailed site assessments' is deleted. Replace by a commitment to accommodating the projected need within the Market Place and through expansion of the store.
