Retail and town centres evidence base documents

Part of: Local Plan: Evidence Base

Retail study

This study provided robust evidence to support policies on retail provision in the Local Plan, and subsequent development control policies and site specific allocation documents.


Retail and town centres study

A retail and town centres study was carried out in 2012 to provide a robust and credible evidence base to inform our work on emerging policy documents. The study was based on changes since the 2008 study, including the publication of the London Plan in 2011 and National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in 2012.


Health evidence base for the emerging policy concerning retail provision

In this review we examine the health effects linked with 3 types of retail outlet:

  • hot food outlets
  • betting shops
  • high street money‐lenders (such as pay-day-loan shops).

This sits alongside the Development Management Development Plan Document policies.
