In Local Centres, villages and Neighbourhood Centres as defined on the proposals map and listed below, development involving the loss of existing shopping facilities, including retail, service and food and drink uses (Classes A1, A2 and A3) will not be permitted unless an improvement to local amenity or the provision of community facilities occurs that outweighs the loss.
