There is a need to clearly define "Primary Shopping Zones" rather than shopping frontages.
No mention of existing retail A1 use at 80%.
I would oppose an overall reduction to 70%,but each PSZ should be reviewed separately to see if the length and extent is appropriate in present market conditions.
For example, the Broadway PSZ includes a bit of Elm Road, this seems unnecessary and damaging to these small units.
Broadway West might be included, as there are less restaurants there and we might rebalance the excess in the \Broadway with these, to help keep the viability and support present trends without damaging the policy and creating precedents.
