Written by a leading expert in the field; this is the first thorough critical review of retail planning policy in Britain (including Scotland and Wales). It covers recent changes in government policy and guidance; and examines retail policy within a broader economic and social context.Planning for Retail Development explains key events and debates in the evolution of retail planning policy; at central and local government levels; since the 1960s and draws contrasts between the 1980s; a period in which retail developers were encouraged by central government to expand away from town centres; and the more recent emphasis on protection and promotion of town centres as the most appropriate location for new development. The book develops a critical evaluation of past and present retail planning policies; based upon analyses of retailersrsquo; objectives and of typical consumer shopping behaviour. Relationships between retail planning and wider societal concerns; including sustainable development; social inclusion and urban regeneration are also examined and analysed and guidelines for future policy objectives and content are drawn.
