"Less pollution?"

I doubt it! They'll all be driving around in ever decreasing circles trying to find somewhere else to park.

And, at the same time, these 'out of town shopping centres' have so many parking spaces such that people are too scared of how far they might have to walk to get to the actual shops! Or... they are so scared to use them on the grounds they might forget where they actually parked the car and not know where to find it!
