1.	In order to prevent the continued erosion of retail floor space within the town centre and the resultant detriment to the retail attractiveness of the prime shopping area,the Borough Council,in November 1981,adopted a policy for the change of use from retail to non-retail premises in the established shopping streets within the town centre.The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the adopted Planning Policy Note No.4 in that the site is within a defined area where,under policy 2A,planning consent will not normally be granted for a change of use from retail to non-retail premises.Consequently if approved the proposal would create an undesirable precedent for further similar developments in the locality the cumulative of which would be detrimental to the retail attractiveness of the town centre and prejudicial to the Council's adopted policy for the central shopping area.
2.	The pre-deposit consultation draft of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan was issued for consultation purposes on 1st.August 1994 and reinforces the policy relating to non-retail premise in primary shopping frontages as contained in Planning Policy Note 4.The shopping policies for the central area have already been considered and re-affirmed by the Council's Planning Committee having taken account of the comments received.The proposal is therefore considered to be prejudicial to the emergent Borough-Wide Local Plan policies for the central shopping area in that approval would create an undesirable precedent for a further erosion of retail floor space within the limited areas designated as prime shopping frontage by allowing an influx of non-retail uses into a shopping area already well provided for in terms of banks and building societies. continued on next page.
