Respondent: Battle Chamber of Commerce

Representation Summary:

7.40(e)(ii) - Proposed provision of new supermarket: Rother's attention is drawn to Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres published 2005, clauses 3.21, 22 and 23. The Chamber considers this to be very pertinent to the proposal for a new supermarket adjacent Battle town centre. An example of another market town where a supermarket has been located on the edge of the existing town centre, with consequent disastrous results for the town centre itself, is Edenbridge.
