There is a suggested "Up to 20,000 square metres of new retail space".
Since the Covid outbreak the world has fast forwarded and retail is predicted to continue to be challenged, with less retail shopping expected.
When considering retail, it is more likely some will be closing offering an option to change its use to housing and thereby reducing the need to consider building on greenbelt.
