It will be used to inform the London Plan, which gives strategic planning guidance on the future growth of London’s town centres and retail developments within London. The previous retail needs study, produced by Experian in 2013, looked at the retail supply and likely demand from 2011 to 2031, and estimated the retail needs for this period for London. The current study creates an update to the previous study, this time based from 2015 and looking forward to 2050, using the most up-to-date data and trends available in October 2016. 1.2 National Economic and Retail Trends Since the last study there has been substantial economic, political, social and technological change. The possible impact of Brexit, a changing world trade and security climate and the range of emerging disruptive technologies point to an increasingly uncertain economic future. In parallel to these wider macroeconomic patterns there are other significant structural retail changes. Most significant amongst these is the substantial and continuing move from shop based retail purchases to on-line retail. This has been particularly strong in certain comparison retail sectors such as electrical goods, books, music, films, cameras, holidays, insurance and games. This trend continues and the current 20% of sales value on-line will expand over time. These changes have left in their wake a set of retail company failures and contractions including Jessops, Comet, HMV and many independent book and music stores. On-line grocery shopping continues to grow, and supermarkets have seen increasing competition for non-food and even some food sales from on-line purchases. Retail supply has also seen a range of other changes in the last decade. This includes the strengthening of major multiple brands against the independents and in favour of the dominant brands with the larger market share, growth of larger retail centres and the major malls, continued demand for car-oriented out-of-town retail parks, and decline particularly in smaller and more down-market high streets. These trends were recognised nationally and led to the Mary Portas review of high streets. 1.3 London Economic and Retail Trends In London, this pattern of concentration on fewer larger and stronger centres can also be seen and should be expected to continue, with an impact on certain smaller and shadowed centres (those where proximity to a very strong retail destination deflects sales away). London has also seen the development and continued growth of large malls, most significantly in Stratford and Shepherds Bush, although notably these have been developed on the edge of existing centres rather than as stand-alone retail parks. London’s retail centres, particularly in the east of the capital, continue to see strong competition from Bluewater and Lakeside retail parks. Despite these uncertainties and structural challenges, there are good reasons to have confidence in London’s continued economic performance.as the economic engine of the UK economy. The London economy is much more dynamic than the rest of the UK with a younger, growing, diverse population and healthy business base that will show greater levels of retail space needs than much of the UK. London’s population is expected to rise substantially and workforce and tourism demand are likely to expand. © 2017 Experian Ltd – Confidential 3 Consumer Expenditure and Comparison Goods Floorspace Need in London 1.4 Key Findings In the context of all the above economic, demographic, retail supply and social changes, this study evaluates not only the overall absolute levels of comparison retail space needed in London but also where the space is most likely to be needed. The polarisation of centres, with demand for comparison goods floorspace increasingly being drawn to larger centres, will mean that some centres will require substantial extra retail space and others will need to plan for a more static scenario. In some cases, centres will require policies to ameliorate the possible decline in demand for retail space. Using GLA population projections as one of the inputs, this study assesses the need for comparison goods retail floorspace in Greater London between 2015 and 2050 and evaluates how well the existing and pipeline retail floorspace will meet this demand. It looks at the absolute need for additional comparison goods retail floorspace over time at a series of geographic levels and against a set of possible scenarios and measures the impact of these. Comparison and Convenience Expenditure Projection The first part of the study assesses spending growth for London. If the expected base level of spending growth occurs then the study projects a rise from £36.6 billion on comparison goods expenditure in London in 2015 to £80.8 billion by 2041, and a rise from £15.2M to £19.8M on convenience retail expenditure. Figure 1.

If no major changes take place to the patterns of retail supply and none of the developments in the current pipeline were constructed and it is assumed that current trends of improving retail efficiency continue then London will need nearly 1.6 million square metres of additional comparison goods retail floorspace by 2041 (baseline scenario). If all the known developments in the pipeline are built by 2041 London will need 1.2 million square metres of additional floorspace (2.4 million gross if pipeline isn’t built). Alongside the baseline and pipeline scenarios, three further scenarios have been produced: • Strengthening of selected retail centres in line with the London Plan (Future Network Changes). This results in a projected 1.2 million square meters of additional floor space. • Continuing polarisation towards larger centres continuing (Quality Adjustment) This results in a projected demand for 1.3 million square meters of additional floorspace. © 2017 Experian Ltd 4 Consumer Expenditure and Comparison Goods Floorspace Need in London • Strengthening larger centres near to the parts of London where retail capacity is least accessible (Addressing Gaps in Provision). This results in a projected demand of 1.3 million square meters. © 2017 Experian Ltd 5 Consumer Expenditure and Comparison Goods Floorspace Need in London • Figure 3 shows the comparison floorspace requirement forecasts under these different scenarios. Overall floorspace requirements are largely driven by expected demand which is expected to be muted in the short term then recover to

    Place Strategy Introduction W hy a strategy about ‘place’? Each borough, ward and street in London has its own identity and set of dynamics. When we talk about ‘place’ we mean focussing our work on specific localities, which allows us to start from young people’s lived experience in an area and consider the multiple factors that might affect their capacity to be creative. There is always change happening in the physical fabric of London, and with an ongoing picture of growth, we are seeing shifts in the identity of local areas and creation of new communities. This strategy will help us respond to these changes.

Making our society better in many different ways. It is a driving force behind this nation’s wealth and prosperity. Creating successful places transforms people’s lives, from the country to the suburbs and from council estates to the high street. It is good for the people who live and work in each community; and it benefits countless others who now enjoy fantastic public realm, playing in the parks and using the shops and facilities, as well as public transport and services funded by new development. This story does not get told loudly enough. Right across the country, councils and communities are working together with our industry, turning vacant and derelict sites into handsome places that contribute positively to life in Britain. There is a lot for everyone to be proud of. As a business, Berkeley is always learning and listening hard to what people say.

  • Collected Case Studies: Housing
    tt Collected case studies: Housing • Strategic site allocation and densification • Building new suburbs • Delivering housing across the UK This paper brings together a number of case studies on how cities from the UK and beyond have delivered housing where it is needed most There is now broad consensus that the UK needs to build more homes. But the need for new homes is far more acute in some places than in others, and housing in Britain’s most economically successful cities tends to be the least affordable. Our case studies show how cities are addressing these challenges by increasing the density of existing communities, evaluating land on its merits rather than its existing designation, and working with neighbourhood authorities. The case studies demonstrating how cities deliver housing and what they are trying to achieve are split into four groups: • Strategic site allocation and densification The UK needs to deliver more housing in high-demand areas where houses are least affordable. Cities need to work proactively with partners to strategically identify the sites appropriate for housing and, where appropriate, prepare the land to make them viable. • Building new suburbs Considering other available sites and not only favoring previously developed land can help the most successful cities provide the amount of homes they need. • Delivering housing across a region Cities in the UK and internationally are working with their neighbouring authorities to get the housing they need. 1 Centre for Cities Collected Case Studies • Housing • Influencing development using public assets Cities in which the private sector property market (residential or commercial) is stronger, can use their public asset base to influence how and what kind of development takes place in ways that align with their vision for the city.
