(a) the loss of retail floor space as such would affect adversely the future viability of the shopping area as such; (b) the "frosted or obscured" frontage would have a negative impact on the appearance and would lessen the interest and attraction for shoppers; and (c) there can arise the congregation of people outside of the premises: this would act as a deterrent to shoppers.
