Retail capacity studies
Providing the evidence base for Core Strategies and other plan documents
Roger Tym & Partners has a strong track record in undertaking retail and leisure capacity studies at local authority and regional levels, across the UK and in Ireland.
Our approach is clear and robust, and we have gone on to defend our work successfully at public inquiries many times. We typically focus on:
- current shopping patterns
- quantitative need for additional facilities
- qualitative assessment
Our studies are always tailored to take into account local context, history and aspirations and support the formulation of town centre strategies.
We have specialist knowledge of independent and niche retailers, street and covered markets, internet retailing, village shops, the impact of out of town retailing, and commercial leisure facilities.
Our unique combination of expertise in town planning, regeneration and economics means that we understand what type of new retail and leisure developments will be viable in a given area, and how they can be delivered.
