Not just down to market forces, but also to the needs of modern society.
Before a council grant planning permission, the first question they ask themselves is 'Is there a need for this facility?'. Research is done incuding asking large slices of the community. Unfortunately, we are all busy people these days, and do not have the luxury of wandering around from shop to shop looking for unusual articles or going to the market for veg, local butcher for meat and hardware shop, etc. for varying items.

You still a student Cyfr .. wait 'til you have joined us workers, parents, etc., and see if you still can grant yourself the time to wander leisurely around. Reply in 10 years time.

Sad I grant you .. particularly with Tescos ... they are the bullies, and never been refused yet. Like the application for Gt.Harwood .. I don't see a need for them .. the Co-op/Whiteheads are excellent and to me no need for anymore, but let us see what happens.
