Retail and related town centre development lies at the heart of many recent planning disputes, as retailers seek to increase their representation or retain existing market share in an increasingly competitive environment.
Retail development can be a catalyst to urban regeneration but its impacts can be widespread, particularly for existing centres.
We are experienced in addressing retail capacity and impact issues, as well as the realism of sequential exercises.
We act for major retailers, landowners and retail developers, as well as for local authorities and objectors to retail schemes.
