Applekirk Properties Ltd consider that site IP 040 and 041 now combined as site 040 as the focus of further major retail development is the wrong location with which to deliver the council's retail aspirations, turns its back on the needs of the stalled waterfront regeneration but more so the opportunity that the waterfront area presents. Moreover the allocation of the site simply serves to perpetuate the east-west alignment of the central area for retail purposes in which the extremities of that area has failed for that purpose for many years. This allocation perpetuates the prospect of continuing retail failure.
