Bromley Town CentrePlanning application: ‘In line with move toward increased leisure activity within town centres…replacing retail units with cinema, restaurants and cafes’ (Government High Streets Policy:
Town Centres have 20% too much retail )

Is there Workable Alternative Finance
Yes!
• St Modwens and Other Developers: Mostly fund using Joint Ventures and Borrowing
• None of the above ‘Workable Alternatives’ are Supermarket Funded
• Problem with Leegate plans is they are supermarket funded and the supermarket is demanding to dominate the site

Do we Need a Supermarket to Create Footfall in Leegate?
No!
CABE (leading advisory body on urban design):
• ‘Good public spaces increase footfall in town centres by up to 40%’ (Civic Space)
• ‘Good design increases footfall’• ‘Diversity of retail, leisure, culture increases footfall’ (Diversity)
Southampton Council Town Strategy: ‘successful retail environments work on the principle of a good circulatory flow’ (Permeability)
