main content Retail Capacity Study 2004

Research was carried out by DTZ on our behalf to assess the borough's retail capacity and need, to support the review of planning policies. The main objectives were:

• to assess the existing health of the town centre;
• to indicate the future market and demand for new retail floor space, and
• to provide market advice on identified key development opportunity sites.
