CK2 Local Shopping and other Facilities which Keep Life Local

The Council will ensure opportunities exist for convenience shopping and other facilities which make life local throughout the borough.

To deliver this the Council will:

  • protect individual shops (Class A1) outside of designated town centres;
  • resist the loss of public houses and other drinking establishments (Class A4) throughout the borough;
  • resist the loss of restaurants and cafes (Class A3) and financial and professional services (Class A2) outside of higher order town centres.

NOTE: Further policy mechanisms for delivering local shopping facilities are included in Policies CF1, CF2 and CF3 in Fostering Vitality, Chapter 19
