POLICY ECON16 SECONDARY SHOPPING FRONTAGE Change of use from A1 to A2, A3 and D2 will normally be acceptable on the ground floor within the secondary shopping frontage (as defined on the Proposals Map). Proposals for other uses will be assessed against their impact on the vitality and viability of the shopping frontage. Proposals will comply with Policy GD2 (General Development Control). Proposals for a change of use of retail (A1) to non-retail (A2-A3, D2) uses at ground floor may be permitted where it is clearly demonstrated that: (a) it will not individually nor cumulatively have a detrimental impact on the vitality and viability of the Secondary Shopping Frontage; and (b) it will not create a concentration of non-retail (A1) uses. Proposals for a change of use to residential at ground floor may only be permitted if criteria (a) and (b) are satisfied and that it is clearly demonstrated that without such a change of use the unit will remain vacant. 6.5.15. A1 Secondary Shopping Frontages, by definition, are subordinate to Primary Shopping Frontages in terms of the retail function of the District’s towns. Therefore, the Council will generally take a more flexible approach to the use of existing commercial properties. The principal function of Secondary Shopping Frontages is, however, retail and the Council will have consideration to the guideline of no more than 30% of non-retail (A1) uses in these locations. Residential proposals will need to be justified by an appropriate 12 month marketing exercise which clearly demonstrates that any use within A1, A2, A3 or D2 is not commercially viable. 6.5.15. The need to retain retail uses is not as critical on secondary shopping frontages and therefore the Council will take a more flexible approach to the use of existing commercial properties as in some cases diversification will enable properties to be fully utilised thereby helping to safeguard the built environment and help provide the range of uses necessary to assist sustainability. POLICY ECON17 FOOD AND DRINK RETAIL Proposals for new or extensions to existing class A3 uses will be acceptable where it can be clearly demonstrated that: a) the proposal will not reduce town centre retail viability and vitality; and b) the proposals will not have a significant adverse impact on crime and disorder. c)the proposal is supportive of Policy SUR7 (Shopfronts and Designs); d)the proposal will not compromise highway safety; and e)the proposal complies with Policy GD2 (General Devleopment Control).

6.5.16. The uses are part of the entertainment and leisure market and can be an important element of the local economy. They can also enhance the vitality of places through increased footfall and natural surveillance. However, these uses need to be carefully designed and controlled so that they do not have negative environmental impact through noise, smell, litter and disturbance issues. The Council has a duty, under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Section 16), to try to minimise opportunities for anti-social behaviour. In considering proposals, the Council will be guided by the view of West Mercia Police’s Architectural Liaison Officer. Proposals should also comply with Policy SUR7 (Shopfronts and Designs), ECON15 and ECON16 (Primary and Secondary Shopping Frontage). POLICY ECON18 RETAIL SALES AT PETROL FILLING STATIONS (PFS) Proposals for convenience goods retailing from a PFS will have to demonstrate that it is clearly ancillary to the main use as a PFS unless: a) It is supportive of the Wychavon Retail Strategy; a) it serves an identifiable local need; and b) there are no sequentially preferred convenience stores serving the locality. 6.5.17. Petrol filling stations can provide a valuable local service where there is a clear local need which cannot be met from a local convenience store. The Council will limit the size of PFS retail outlets to 275 250m 2 so that they primarily serve local and motorists needs and do not generate car trips from settlements further afield which already have a convenience goods outlet. In order to reduce the potential for car trip generation there is a need to protect local sequential preferred convenience stores which, by their nature, generally offer greater accessibility. POLICY ECON19 NURSERIES, GARDEN CENTRES AND THEIR EXTENSIONS Proposals for new or extensions to garden centres will need to demonstrate that: nurseries and extensions to nurseries will be supported where the retail use is directly related and ancillary to an existing agricultural or horticultural business operated from the site. b)the proposal complies with Policy GD2 (General Development Control) and Policy ECON8 (Farm Diversification). Proposals for garden centres and extensions to garden centres which are not directly related nor ancillary to an existing agricultural or horticultural business operated from the site may be acceptable provided that: a) it is linked and on the site of an existing horticultural business; and b) it serves an identifiable local need; and c) there is no detrimental impact on the retail hierarchy function of nearby settlements; and d) it can be readily and safely accessed by foot, cycle and public transport. proposals comply with Policy GD2 (General Development Control) and Policy ECON14 (Large Scale Retail Development).
