Furthermore, in considering the value that convenience retail development can have in ensuring the vitality and viability of town centres, the subsequent effect of deterring such development could be severe, with adverse impacts on the communities and neighbourhoods they serve possible. This argument was highlighted in the Examiner's report on Trafford Borough Council's Draft Charging Schedule, dated 31 January 2014. The report concluded that, in order to ensure that a CIL charge would not harm the vitality and viability of Sale Town Centre, by making a supermarket development proposal unviable, town centre supermarket developments should be exempt from the levy.
