Policy S9 (Change of Use A1 to A2)

Within the town centre and district shopping frontages, B1 business uses will not be permitted at ground floor level. Proposals for the change of use from retail to uses within the financial and professional Use Class A2 will be directed to the secondary shopping frontage. However, as an exception to this general rule, banks and building societies will be permitted in the primary frontage subject to meeting all of the criteria below :

  • the proposal should provide a shop front design synonymous with a primary shopping location;
  • the proposal will not result in three or more similar uses being located next to each other;
  • the proposal can demonstrate that levels of pedestrian flow will not be adversely affected; and
  • the proposal will expect to trade at similar times to those retail units predominantly found in primary locations.
