Validation Checklist - List 1

3y Retail Assessment

Required for Retail Impact Assessments are required for any application for a main town centre use (or an extension to a use) which would be in an edge-of-centre or out-of-centre location and which is not in accordance with an up-to-date development plan.

The requirements for an assessment are set out at paragraph 26 of the National Planning Policy Framework. An assessment should include the need for development, whether it is of an appropriate scale, whether there are any sites closer to a centre for the development, whether there are any unacceptable impacts on existing centres and whether the location is accessible.

If major repair works are proposed provide a supplementary schedule of works and method statement which explains the principles for the proposal.
