ED12: Markets
- Proposals for new off-street permanent, indoor or street markets, car boot sales and temporary markets will be supported provided that:
- the scale, nature and location would not harm existing shopping facilities or markets located within town centres;
- there would not be an unacceptable impact on local amenity or the general environment;
- adequate provision is made for traders’ parking, deliveries and servicing, set-up and storage of stalls, power supply and storage and disposal of refuse; and
- there would not be an unacceptable impact on traffic flow or increase in traffic congestion in the area.
- The council will seek to maintain, and support the enhancement of, existing indoor and street markets within the borough. Developments that would adversely affect existing indoor or street markets will not be permitted. Where construction of a development could adversely affect a street market, applicants should assess this impact and propose mitigation measures to ensure the street market can continue to operate.
