PR11: Evening and Night Time Economy.

1. The Sequential Test

Evening and night time uses must be directed to the Town Centre first, then to Neighbourhood Centres and then to Hatches, and applicants must demonstrate that this sequential approach has been undertaken.

2. Development Principles

Evening and night time uses must meet the following criteria:

(a) it can be proven that the development will have a positive effect on the vitality and viability of the retail centre, its night-time economy and the local area;
(b) mitigation through legal agreements or conditions to minimise negative impacts of the development on the local area.
