Representation Summary:

Whilst our client supports the general approach of Policy T27, it is considered that the policy is aspirational but not likely deliverable. The Policy states that the location of specific types of development will be carefully managed to avoid possible adverse impacts on health and wellbeing, one of those being an off-licence. We object to the Policy on this basis as small scale convenience stores typically providing for the needs of the local community will often include an off-licence, so such stores should be excluded from the policy.
