Topshop planning problem

Certainly looks better than boarding that will be there if TOP SHOP pulls out and the hight rates lost to the island people

It is nice to see shops investing in Newport instead of pulling out.
It is about time that people were encouraged to shop in Newport with free parking on quieter days don't you all think?

Bet Topshop never had this problem ANYWHERE else in the country!

It's a good job the planners aren't on performance related salary as they would be owing money on payday.

The Jobsworths out in force again... go and get a real job you dimwits!!

With everything bad going on in the world who really cares that top shop have had a revamp without council permission, is it about time they looked at the monstrosity they all work in I suggest a large explosive may help blow the building up!

Here we go again did not a good bussiness move to Southhampton from ryde hight street fir the same reason and where are they going to put those coulurful wooden huts on the sea front

oh forbid a company being able to do anything to improve the look of a shop front, it actually improves the area, they need to be concentrating on the area of the old peacocks, bon marche thats a state to see empty shops what a disgrace, reduce the rent and get some new blood into the town god how its needed

it looks great and certainly a lot better than B and Q, the carbuncle built at the end of stag lane and the ugly council offices all approved by them. I agree how can they criticise this company when 50 per cent of the shops in newport have been reduced to pawn brokers,
pound shops,gambling dens or charity shops, because of council extorniate rates and parking charges.
They will say this is a separate matter, but is it really?
Top shop now looks stylish and is an asset for newport.

this council are a complete waste of space, they're always causing trouble for someone. the island is being held back on all fronts due to this council's age old attitudes, so what if if top shop didnt get planning permission, it looks ten times better than all those scruffy charity shops we have, newport looks like a dump these days, it's about time someone made an effort & top shop have. in my dealings with this council i have often been left lost for words at their stupidy. instead of moanig about something looking nice for a change, they should take a look at sandown & make all the hotel & shop owners tidy their property's up, the place is a disgrace.
