DC Casebook: Retail Development - Antiques shop agreed outside retail core

Retail development

Planning, 9 May 2008

The change of use of a workshop and store in a North Yorkshire town into an antiques shop has secured planning permission after an inspector decided that the boundary of the retail area was not inviolate.

The site lay outside the town's retail core along a pedestrian link to a main car park. There were various other outlets close by, including a long-established mill shop. The inspector remarked that the council had justified the grant of permission for these developments on the basis that they lay close to the main shopping streets and offered regeneration benefits. In his opinion, the low-key, small-scale nature of the retail use would have no adverse impact on the town centre.
