(b) where the proposed development is for retail or commercial purposes, the manner in which it supports the role and structure of the Eden town centre and its convenience to the community, and

(c) where appropriate, the likely consequences of the proposed development for the provision of industrial development opportunities in the area, and

(d) where the land is, according to information available to the Council, affected by flooding, whether the proposed development involves a risk to life or property in the event of a flood and whether it is likely to aggravate the effects of flooding on other land, and
