Policy RET 1 - Establishing a Centre Hierarchy
Planning preference for main town centre uses follows a sequential hierarchy: town centre first, then edge-of-centre sites, then out-of-centre sites.
The sequential approach directs development to the town centre before considering an edge of centre site. Preference will be given to edge of centre land before considering an out of centre site.
