Object to HT12: Additional retail unnecessary, traffic, impact on quality of life and parking, will be an eyesore if unsuccessful

Full text:

I am concerned about plans for expanded retail development which I consider unnecessary for the needs of the town's residents. We do not need more coffee shops and restaurants. If successful, this plan will have the effect of attracting additional car traffic with an adverse impact on the quality of life and available parking. If unsuccessful, the town will be left with the eyesore of closed retail units with to let signs.
