Umm, quick change of tune there, Deano? In your first posting on this thread, you said you think Domino's Pizzas are "nice" (p15), now this has changed to "no great love of Domino's" and "far too many sub standard take away outlets in the area". Which is it going to be?
And I'd once again like to stress the point that there would be a real chance of a restaurant/pub surviving in that location, if rents weren't kept so high that only said national chain seems to be able to pay these. But the people who would be able to influence the long term development of HOP in a positive way from a planning perspective are clearly not interested.
