| I agree with what Jonathan says above and particularly wish we could have wider pavements. When we have planning applications for the High Street, is there some way that developers/shops could be made to reduce the amount of space their shop fronts take up on the pavement? When the latest planning application was made for the Exchange entrance and the shops next to it, I really hoped that the frontages could be moved back a bit, to give more space on the pavement. Same when we got the new Top Shop. If you look at many of the original buildings on the High Street, the shop frontages have been built out from them. Were the pavements wider in the olden days? Couldn't we allow developers to build higher in exchange for getting more room on the pavement? |
