Opis

The rapid advances in retailing during the latter part of the 20th century have led to pressures for new forms of shopping development and conflicts with established planning policy on the location of new stores and centres. In response to these pressures, various methods have been devised to assess the potential impact of new retail developments on existing centres. This book reviews the methodology and emphasizes a recommended best practice approach to the application of retail impact assessment. It shows why and how the current approaches to retail impact assessment need to be improved. It includes examples from all the major retail sectors, for example foodstores, retail warehouses, factory outlet centres and regional shopping centres. Evidence is given of the impacts different types of retail development have and an analysis is made of retail impact issues in Europe and North America, as well as the UK. Advice is given on the application of best practice, with an illustration of the impact assessment framework and a checklist for retail impact assessment.
