Object to Policy P2 as not based on up to date evidence of retail and leisure need and bears no resemblance to the scale of development now proposed. The anticipated timing of growth should influence the phasing for plan led retail need and the preferred strategy for delivering it. The Plan should consider when and where need/capacity is likely to arise and identify locally set thresholds above which impact assessments will be required for town centre uses, including changes of use, as the NPPF threshold is too high where town centres are vulnerable. Policy must define primary shopping areas.
