Shopping
Centre Boundaries
In its UDP the Council identified 9 town and 52 neighbourhood shopping
centres where it tries to maintain a healthy and varied range of
shops, frequently restraining the conversion of shops to alternative
uses. These tables indicate the ground floor premises surveyed whenever
the current mix of uses is examined.
The Council maintains lists of shops that are considered:
When calculating the mix of uses in each centre account is taken of the varying
width of frontages, but unauthorised uses are disregarded. This ensures that the interests
of those seeking consent for a Change of Use are not harmed by reason of those making
significant changes without seeking planning permission. Any instances of unauthorised
uses may be reported to and investigated by the Enforcement
Team in the Development & Public Protection Services Department. |
