DMTS 7 Loss of shops outside protected shopping frontages and parades

Planning permission will be granted for change of use of shops (classes A1 to A5 inclusive) outside town and local centres and Important Local Parades provided:

there are alternative shopping facilities within reasonable walking distance (400 metres); or
evidence of marketing the site for retail use for at least 18 months has been provided, unless otherwise agreed with the Council; and
the design of the frontage would be compatible with the use of the premises and the surrounding area; and
where the proposed use is for residential purposes, the proposal complies with Policies DMS1, DMH4, the Housing Supplementary Planning Document, and a satisfactory standard of amenity can be ensured by the provision of an enclosed garden/forecourt where practicable.
