TR 7 Shops and Parades Outside Defined Centres

Development proposals that enhance the community function of shops and parades located outside centres defined on the Policies Map will be supported.

Where it is proposed to change the use of a shop outside a centre, an assessment will be made of its value to the local community. If the shop fulfils a function of benefit to the local community, development proposals must provide credible and robust evidence of an appropriate period of marketing for retail use.

Where evidence suggests that a shop does not fulfil a function of benefit for the local community, or where a community benefit exists tochangingtoanotheruse, marketing evidence will not be required.
