Statement 7: Sustainable development in rural areas (PPS7) (as far as it relates to economicdevelopment) and paragraphs 53, 54 and Annex D of Planning Policy Guidance Note 13: Transport.59
Policy CS10 - Retail, Leisure, Cultural and Office Provision4.113 Government planning policy on town centres and retail was published in2010 in Planning Policy Statement 4: Planning for Sustainable Economic Growth.This document brings together a set of policies on planning for sustainableeconomic growth in urban and rural areas. The document states that whenconsidering sites for development, regard should be had to the need and scale ofthe proposed development, the application of the sequential approach and theneed to assess the impact of any development on existing centres and ensurelocations are accessible by a wide means of transport.4.114 The East of England Plan, in Policy E5, identifies Bury St Edmunds as aMajor Centre, with a role of strategic importance for retail and other town centrepurposes. Policy SS6 of the Plan sets out the overall aims for town centredevelopment. It is important that the retail economy in the borough is plannedpositively, and as the East of England Plan states, is located in existing centresand is consistent with the scale and type of retail they provide.Retail, Leisure and Office Hierarchy4.115 The main centres in the borough are diverse and cater for a wide range ofdifferent customers. The borough has two towns and five Key Service Centres and13 Local Service Centres, as identified in Core Strategy Policy CS4. The settlementhierarchy reflects the differences in the towns and larger villages across theborough and role of these settlements in terms of retail, leisure and officedevelopment which is expanded on below.Towns4.116 Bury St Edmunds is the focus for shopping, leisure, business and culturalactivities. It acts as a sub-regional centre serving both the town itself andsurrounding smaller settlements as well as meeting needs outside the borough.The 'arc' retail development (opened spring 2009) and the development of amultiplex cinema (opened end 2005) has helped to confirm Bury St Edmunds roleas a destination shopping and leisure centre. The town provides a high qualityshopping environment and offers a range of attractive shops and services in apleasant setting.4.117 Haverhill is an important centre serving a large area including the townitself and a number of surrounding smaller settlements. The ease of access toCambridge and proximity to other retail centres limits Haverhill‟s catchment area.There is a council led 10 year programme of investment in Haverhill to helpstrengthen the centre and to promote inward investment. This investment hasrecently included the development of a multiplex cinema and restaurants (openedautumn 2008) and refurbishment of the town‟s leisure centre (opened July 2009).4.118 The Employment Land Review (2009), which forms part of the LDFevidence base, concluded that the current office space in Haverhill was of a higherquality than that in Bury St Edmunds due to the recently completed new builddevelopment in the town.4.119 In addition to the main shopping areas in the two towns there are anumber of smaller local centres which provide shops and services to cater for theevery day needs of the local community.60
