Borough Local Plan (2005) policy Cf1 resists the loss of community uses. The current units are in a poor condition. There are a number of long-term vacant units within the frontage. The existing quality of the retail frontage does not provide an appropriate gateway into the town centre. The site has been identified in the Regulation 19 Development Management Plan for mixed-use development with retail/ commercial/ leisure uses on the ground floor (RTC2). The site is partially affected by surface water flooding.
