The application has failed to demonstrate that the proposed loss of ancillary Class A1 floorspace would not adversely affect the success and vitality of the town centre by threatening the viability existing retail unit at ground-floor level. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to Policy CF3.

A pre-application advice service is also offered. In this case the proposal does not comply with guidance and policies. No pre-application discussions were entered into, but the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of any new planning application.
