The title of policy CS14 Retail Development should be amended to include reference to cultural facilities. Cultural facilities are a main town centre use and we support the changes to the wording of the policy to refer to arts, culture and tourism. However, retail offer and cultural/tourism offer are not connected and criteria for the maintenance of a successful shopping centre will not be the same as for tourist attractions and cultural offer. Theatres are part of the evening economy as well as being anchor for your cultural offer and their success is not related to shops.

Policy DM32 Community Facilities and its explanatory text provide no description of what is meant by the term 'community facilities'. The NPPF paragraph 70 states that to deliver needed commmunity facilities including cultural facilities, policies should guard against the unnecessary loss of valued facilities. Therefore DM32 should include cultural facilities e.g. museums, libraries and galleries. The omission could be easily rectified by including cultural facilities in paragraph 9.169 and including in the Glossary this definition: 'Community facilities provide for the health and wellbeing, social, educational, spiritual, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of the community.'
