PC07: Primary Shopping Areas
Retail use should remain the predominant use in Primary Shopping Areas as set out in Policy PC04 Retail Hierarchy of Designated Centres, and defined on the Brentwood Policies Map. Proposed retail development should:
- contribute to the area’s attractiveness, accessibility and vibrancy by adding to or providing a range of shops to meet local needs, including opportunities for small, independent shops;
- not result in subdivision of an existing large retail unit;
- be fully integrated with the existing shopping area; and
- facilitate safe, convenient and pleasant pedestrian movement through improved lighting and landscaping.
