Representation Summary:
Retail study is out of date and is based on demand which assumes growth in population and supercedced requirements from the RSS. NPPF does not require LPAs to plan for retail growth. Do not support proposals for additional retail-led development in Leamington. In addition this policy to encourage people to travel from other parts of the region to do their shopping is unsustainable and in conlfict with transport policies. It could affect Old Town trade.
One worry is that the Study itself says (para 4.3) 'a significant improvement in one centre holds the threat /promise of drawing trade from others'.
