Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether adequate provision of services of the sort that may be provided by a building falling within Class A1 (shops) exist

What decided it

The proximity of the appeal site to Hockley Town Centre and the adequate provision of alternative retail services within a short distance meant that the loss of the A1 retail unit would not be detrimental to the adequate delivery of such services.
