BAS SH6: Retailing on Industrial Estates.
Planning permission for the change of use, or partial change of use of an existing building used for Class B1, B2 or B8 to a retail use or for a retail use ancillary to the main use of the premises, will be allowed subject to the following criteria:-
- The proposed use does not cause material harm to the vitality and viability of any town centre;
- There is not a significant net loss of employment; and
- Customer car parking provision is provided separate from existing car parking.
Where a large scale retail use results from the change of use, then planning applications will be considered also with regard to policies BAS SH1 and SH2 of this plan.
