Support the approach of considering each centre on an individual basis.

Additional convenience goods floorspace in Lillington would provide local services and thus negate the need for long journeys by residents in the area by private transport.

Councils PO for retail is to promote vitality/viability of town and local centres through planning positively for growth and development in accordance with centre hierarchy and strategies for centres. These strategies will provide a framework for more detailed Area Action Plans and Tesco support this approach to consider centres on individual basis.
Crown Way is currently designated as local centre. CS states intention to carry designations forward. Tesco believe there is potential for re-designating this centre to district centre .
Tesco note there are currently no allocated sites within LDF or Retail and Leisure Study 2009 for new Class A1 floorspace. Increase in housing would place significant pressure on existing retail facilities.

Tesco support this preferred option
