Glad you liked the photos. Definately good progress being made.
Regarding shops, I haven't found anything definitive as to where they're going to be positioned - however I notice that directly in front of Park View site is a site owned by Castlethorn - this may be it. (See below). I have some friends in Castlethorn, so will see if I can get some insider info.
