He should also extend this protection to high-streets and local shopping streets. I am literally fed up of seeing viable shop units being converted to flats in London. Just at a time when the market is beginning to embrace the high street again, we have a planning law which makes it easy for cynical developers to pick off these units for their property portfolios. It's actually a tragedy to see, as once residential, these units can never be returned to retail use again.
