1.  Huyton town centre is an appropriate location for new development, redevelopment and/or improvement of existing buildings for new town centre uses which are appropriate in scale and nature to the role and function of the town.

2.  The Council will grant planning permission for the redevelopment of the site of the existing Asda store at Lathom Road/Derby Road, Huyton, or re-use of the existing building, for a mix of some or all of the following uses:

Non-food retail (Class A1);
Financial and Professional Service uses (Class A2);
Food and/or Drink uses (Classes A3, A4 and A5);
Business uses (Class B1) - particularly on any upper floor levels;
Assembly and leisure uses, such as a cinema, concert or dance hall, fitness centre or family entertainment centre (Class D2); and
Residential uses (Class C3).

3.  The mix of uses and the design of the development must be of a high quality which reflects the strategic location of the site within Huyton town centre and which will provide safe, convenient, secure and visually attractive pedestrian links through the development between Derby Road and the site of the proposed new superstore on Lathom Road.

4.  In considering any planning applications for the re-use or redevelopment of the site, the Council will treat the document entitled “Development Brief: Asda, Derby Road, Huyton” approved by the Council on 8 March 2000, together with its proposed parking strategy for Huyton Town Centre, as material considerations.
