Kenilworth needs help to boost trade - new railway station would be great help.

Providing the image of each town centre is kept and retail units utilised. A prime site in Leamington is the old Lee Longland / Debenhams which at present makes that area shabby.

The document talks of the need for town centres, [particularly Kenilworth] to meet the every day needs of the population. Again a worthy sentiment - how then the low take up of retail units in the above mentioned 'Talisman'.
Kenilworth is virtually devoid of any of the small shops that made the town centre a viable alternative shopping place a decade ago. Now, if you want groceries or a meal then that is about all it can offer.

No mention of people living in town centres- that is what is required to ensure long-term vitality. This will reduce travelling and therefore pollution.

We support the value placed upon Warwick's local distinctiveness and historically significant environment (para 6.15) but would point out that this is also applicable to Leamington Spa and Kenilworth

Town Centres
The Parish Council does not think that the Council has identified all reasonable options. Contrary to the approach taken in the development of the Preferred Option Paper for housing and employment land, there is no strategy provided as to how the town centres should evolve over the term. There is conflict between development of town centres to promote their vitality and viability and conservation desire to maintain the centres as they were. Conservation should be reserved for buildings or areas which are good examples of their kind and need refurbishment to keep them economically viable but not where to do so would impair the vitality and attractiveness that could otherwise be achieved. This is a particular problem in Leamington and Warwick which is made more difficult by the mixing of traffic with shops, arising from the town layout designed before the invention of motor vehicles. Resolving this issue needs a bold strategy to change current principles.
If 45,000 sq m is said to be required for office floorspace within or on the edge of Leamington town centre, has the need for the 4,500 or so jobs that would arise to fill that area been identified in terms of businesses looking to open or expand in this location? It could only work if adequate roads for the traffic generated and the parking that is essential for workers and customers is created to attract businesses into the town.
The Parish Council does not think that the Council has correctly determined the hierarchy of the town centres. The strategy for Leamington town centre needs to be clearer on its approach to dealing with the underperformance and should set out the options more clearly for sites for retail development. The underuse of shops in Leamington and Warwick may well arise from the introduction of internet shopping as well as impediments to customers from poor parking arrangements and charges. Before any ambitious plans are embarked on, customer satisfaction studies need to establish whether any new developments can be sustained.

Kenilworth needs to be allowed to develop to provide a broad range of retail offers so that residents need to travel less to larger centres such as Solihull / Leamington / Coventry

The Development of Town Centres should be balanced and the recent expansion of charity shops within Warwick is not assisting in the development in terms of their appeal to tourists. Comments from visitors are now well aired in the town to support this view.The town's appeal has to support the attraction.

The Warwick Chamber of Trade objects to the Core Strategy in its present form as it appears that none of the proposed developments has any benefit for the commercial activity of the town.
Preferred option is to "direct retail, leisure and office growth to town centres" but there is little evidence that any of this will come to Warwick. The objective of further and rapid retail growth in Leamington puts Warwick at a further disadvantage.

Doubts whether proposed increase in retail floorspace necessary or desirable. In assessing the need for additional retail floorspace in or adjacent to existing centres, local authority should not simply consider quantitative need for floorspace but also assess format in which additional floorspace will contribute to vibrancy and diversity of existing retail centres.
Large format stores on edge of tc's can equally damage vitality of town centres. Essential that threshold adopted restricting development of large scale retail outlets that would otherwise damage existing retail centres.

Support the preferred hierarchy. Agree that changing the hierarchy is not an option to consider. Support the role of Leamington Spa as the only strategic centre in the District and the focus for major growth.

Possible directions for expansion of the strategic centre or criteria for the identification of sites into which the town centre boundary can grow should be identified.

We do not consider Chandos Street to be a suitable allocaiton for a strategic site for development.

Support the Preferred Option, however, need to recognise the role of A3, A4, A5 uses in ensuring continued investment and activity in the town centre.

Also, support the proposed hierarchy and agree that Leamington Spa should be the only strategic centre in the district.

Should identify the land to the west of Leamington Spa Railway Station as having potential for large format convenience goods retailing.

The site could accommodate in the region of 3,000 sq.m gross of retail sales floorspace. The site is edge of centre and within close proximity to the train station. Very unlikely to have an impact on the town centre, or the Ford Foundry site. Would improve the environment. No other sites available.

Need to re-assess the Station Area Development Brief in the LDF process and ensure greater clarity in the policy framework to guide appropriate retail development.

The District's Retail & Leisure Study indicates roughly the same amount of new retail floorspace up to 2026 as the RSS Phase2, although a higher amount of this is anticipated in the Core Strategy to be delivered before 2021. Draft Core Strategy should make clear what evidence there is to justify this.
