NP/E3 – Retaining and enhancing Retail
The centres of Ascot, Sunningdale and Sunninghill will be the principal locations for retail in our NP area. Any new retail development in these areas should broaden the range of shopping opportunities and contribute to the long term economic health of our villages.
NP/E3.1 In order to retain the economic vibrancy and viability of our village centres the introduction of new retail uses in use class A2 such as banks and building societies, estate agents and betting offices will be restricted at ground floor level to a maximum of 30% of the length of the present retail frontages, as defined in Map 11. For purposes of clarity this percentage applies to each centre and is not intended to permit aggregation.
NP/E3.2 Proposals for any change of use on the frontage of the village centre shall require the applicant to clearly demonstrate that:
- Any resultant increase in deliveries, especially by HGVs or large vehicles, will not adversely impact the traffic flow in the area or the safety of road users, or harm the amenity of neighbouring properties and local residents AND
- There will be no unacceptable increased pressure on parking availability in the immediate area.
