Orange,

You really dont seem to have a clue as to whats been going on with this in the past. You mention in your last post about liking to have been consulted with plans etc. There was immense consultation on this at planning stage! The planning regime has considered the impact very carefully and has made its recommendations.

Concerns about what subsequent businesses might or might not do in the future are not relevant to this particular business as it has stipulated already what it wants and has planning for same and any changes are likely to be put under considerable future scrutiny by the planning system. Imaginary scenarios cut little ice with planners and probably less with the Lands Tribunals.
