Town centres

Producing the evidence base for town centre and retail policies

Roger Tym & Partners has a strong track record of working with local authorities and other stakeholders to deliver prosperous town centres.

We undertake:

  • assessments of existing town centre planning policies
  • town centre specific studies
  • town centre healthchecks; assessments of vitality and viability
Our advice on town centre policy is based on an appreciation of the market and our understanding of national trends.  We carefully research time series data in order to fully understand the performance of town centres and whether a policy intervention is necessary. We also base our advice on local knowledge, obtained from local stakeholders.
 
We provide policy advice that has market realism and the flexibility to respond to changing economic pressures.
