Representation Summary:

Policy CEN5 - Provision of Small-Scale Local Facilities

Support is given in principle to this policy which allows the provision of small scale use of up to 280sqm gross subject to a range of criteria. The Policy states that the loss of some local facilities will be resisted e.g. convenience shops, pharmacy etc. It is unclear how this criterion would be controlled given that many of these
uses can now change within Class E without requiring planning permission. It is therefore recommended that this criterion be deleted.
