We do not consider that Policy Table 6, entitled 'Employment Sectors' is sound. Policy Table 6 outlines a range of employment sectors but fails to include retail in this. This is not consistent with national policy guidance set out in pps4, which confirms at Paragraph 4 that retail development as a main town centre use is considered to be Economic Development and provide sustainable economic growth. We consider that Table 6 should be amended to include retail development.

In order to make policy table 6 and policy dm10 sound, we consider that Table 6 should be amended to include retail development. This would make the DPD sound as it would be consistent with national policy set out in Paragraph 4 of PPS4.
