Out-of-centre retail warehouse sites have been proved beyond any doubt to adversely effect the traditional town centre, resulting in business closures and 'ghost town' town centres. These developments also generate large volumes of additional traffic movements, in direct contradiction to the presevation of our unique local environment. Therefore, this approach should be removed.

Preferred Policy Approach 5 seeks to promote edge-of-centre and out-of-centre sites ahead of existing centres and as such runs contrary to the sequential approach, as set out in PPS6. Furthermore it promotes a business based approach to retail development which is also contrary to guidance in PPS6. In this context we strongly recommend that Preferred Approach 5 is deleted in favour of an all encompassing retail approach that reflects the tests set out in PPS6.

For the avoidance of doubt, and to ensure the successful implementation of the councils town centre policies, it should be made clear that any retail warehousing will be for bulky comparison goods only and that any permissions for non-central sites will be subject to planning conditions restricting the sale of non-bulky comparison goods and convenience goods.

In order to meet sustainability objectives, Sainsburys Supermarkets Ltd believe that the Core Strategy should provide for an element of flexibility to allow for appropriate retail growth to support the new hosuing proposed for the Borough.

Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd support flexibility in the Council's approach to accomodating future retail needs, as it is recognised that the level of retail development identified will not meet the long-term requirements in the Borough and that the proposed development of Hastings Town Centre may not come forward in the plan period.

Retail warehousing should be clearly required to follow the sequential approach in PPS6. If suitable town or edge of centre sites are not available, then regard should be had to exisitng out-of-centre locations with good accessibility, particularly Ravenside Retail Park.
