Paragraph 8.34 + Box 15(e)(ii)

1,650 sq.m net of convenience floorspace to 2016 has not been justified, is based on a number of errors and inaccuracies and is a significant overestimation of potential future capacity for convenience floorspace in Rye and should be deleted.

Has not taken into consideration the current and future turnover of the store. Acceptability of providing the recommended scale of floorspace not justified in relation to PPS6 tests and Rye. No assessment of whether the continued expansion and enhancement of the foodstore could accommodate this need. Projections should not be regarded as targets. No assessment of sequential tests.
