Mr Lancaster, counsel for CAO, completed his re-examination of Mr Nutter. When asked who should the onus lie on to determine whether a smaller development would work, he said it is on the applicant to determine, however in this case the scheme has to be delivered as a whole project as there is no opportunity to divide the scheme up.He also said if the development went ahead, Kirkby would become the main attraction within the borough, Fifa 16 Coins with Huyton and Prescot following. However, Prescot is often bundled with Cables retail park, and Prescot town centre needs substantial investment despite the success of Cables.
The hierarchy in Knowsley would change, as cited in previous evidence, and Kirkby would become significantly larger than originally planed in the UDP. Skelmersdale was picked out as a 3rd tier priority for development in the RSS, but he said the RSS allows for growth and emergence of other unspecified centres too.In their respective UDP's Skelmersdale's plans for regeneration and expansion were bigger than Kirkby's, although the scale of the opportunity that would arrive for Kirkby was not anticipated when the UDP was approved.He said there was no justification or evidence presented for either 70,000 sqm or 50,000 sqm of critical mass being required for the success of the scheme.
When asked what evidence he had seen of Tesco's ability to bring investment to the north of the development, he said there has been no evidence, and arguably development in Kirkby has not taken place before because of complex land ownership. Now the land was in sole ownership, there was no reason why Kirkby town centre could not be developed.He said he was worried that the development was heavily reliant on attracting shoppers from a wide area, and hence is reliant on people using their cars to access the site. He believed it was not a good example of sustainable development or Buy Fifa 16 Coins sustainable shopping patterns. http://www.fifaeasy.com/
