Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Proposals unsound.
Do not need more shops in Hockley, Rayleigh or Rochford. All these centres struggle to fill existing retail units and there is a predominance of charity shops already occupying prime sites which suggests that 'real' retailers cannot see a way to sustain businesses there.
Maybe if rents and rates could be reduced???
