The NPPF does not mention any need for local authorities to plan for retail growth.
Do not support the proposal for 'the addition of a major retail-led development in Leamington Town Centre' - do not believe that there needs to be an increase in retail property. The proposal seems to be based on the encouraging people from outside the district to shop in the town. This is neither sustainable or environmentally-sensitive and seems contradictory to the transport policy of reducing the need to travel. the proposal migh also be to the detriment of trade on Old Town.
Support the statements in the proposed policy to 'Apply the 'town centres first'' principle and to 'Strongly resist out-of-centre retail development'.
