Respondent: Jempson's Superstore

Representation Summary:

Retail study cont: Furthermore consideration must be made to evaluate the extra requirement for bulky goods within the Rye catchment area. Our surveys show that 80% of customers drive to the urban centres of Hastings and Ashford for bulky goods with the resultant environmental impact this has on the area and in addition, the leakage of other trade types (convenience and everyday goods) that occurs on combined shopping trips. Therefore we would like to propose a need for this category to be included in the LDF document.
