Why it was refused

  1. The proposed main town centre use outside of a designated local centre without evidence of a lack of appropriate spaces within nearby centres or edge of centre locations, is concluded to cause harm to their vitability and vibrancy. Consequently, the development would be contrary to TP22, TP24 of the BDP (2017) and the NPPF.
  2. The proposed development would reduce the diversity of uses within the centre resulting in an over concentration of retail provision, not balanced to the local community needs. Consequently the application is contrary to TP24 of the BDP (2017) and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
