Not another coffee shop?

It’s not that there is anything wrong with coffee shops; but I don’t think we
need 12+ of anything selling an almost identical product in such a small
shopping centre, where so many everyday retail goods are now unobtainable.
There is no danger of our getting more that the present nine estate agents,
because the city council is very strict about not allowing A2 (office) usage in
A1 (retail) shops. Thus the number of offices of any description always remains
constant and is irrelevant to the coffee shop/retail argument.
But charity shops are definitely retail, and the present six are enough. The
important question is what can the city council do to attract small retailers
into Headington?
