Surprise at shops policy
Sir – It came as a surprise to read that the city council may change its policy towards the percentage of shops that are allowed on certain streets – I thought the policy had been abandoned long ago.
In Little Clarendon Street, two cafes are in operation which have no relevant planning permission, one has been operating for a year. The fact that they break the 50 per cent limit seems of little concern to the council despite the situation having been drawn to their situation.
