- makes a positive contribution to the character of the Town Centre in accordance with Policies DTC9 or LTC13;
- does not result in the loss of some other priority use which other policies in this Plan seek to retain;
- provides additional residential accommodation unless impracticable and/or undesirable, having regard to the feasibility of proposals, the size and layout of the site, its surroundings and the quality of the residential environment and
