S6 - NEIGHBOURHOOD SHOPS

Proposals for the change of a neighbourhood shop (Class A1) to premises for professional and financial services (Class A2) or business (Class B1) will not be permitted and proposals involving the loss of a shop to any other use will only be permitted where:

all reasonable endeavours have been taken to let or sell the premises as a shop (Class A1);
the proposed non-retail use will not prejudice the character and appearance of the group of neighbourhood shops;
any activities or traffic generated, parking and access can be satisfactorily accommodated.
