The proposed wording seems muddled, with “related” (to “shops) and “pubs or drinking establishments” acting as constraints upon the permissible “retail and service uses” .
In practice, the primary frontages already have lots of eating and drinking establishments so the value of identifying primary and secondary frontages is unclear. ‘Shops’ are locating in secondary frontage areas where the rents are lower.
