It does not appear that any sites are undeliverable for transport reasons when considered individually and if an assumption is made that proper provision is made for sustainable transport measures and highway mitigation. This statement needs to be considered against those made on the Core Strategy and cumulative transport impacts.

Policy SP7 does not allocate sufficient sites to meet the projected demand for commercial leisure space. The Jewson site (IP028b/UC029) must be considered for town centre use including leisure. The [NPPF] requirement to allocate sufficient sites for leisure development is reinforced by the 2013 DTZ report, which recognises that the centre has a relative lack of leisure and food/drink units. Policy SP7 allocates only one site for leisure development (the former Odeon Cinema, c. 2,500 sq m). This does not meet demand for commercial leisure (A3‐A5 only) up to 2016 (forecast at 2,660-4,000sq m (net)).
