BKEC1: Safeguarding our Retail Centre

The existing role and function of the Retail Centre, as defined on the map on page 22, should be safeguarded.

Proposals which improve and enhance the vitality and viability of the shops within the Retail Centre will be supported. The focus will be on local facilities and services to meet the day to day needs of our community.

Development that would result in the loss of retail floor space within the Retail Centre will not be supported. Changes of use from shopping (A1 use) to hot food takeaway units (A5) will not be permitted.
