In brief, the Council is seeking to improve the scale and quality of the retail and commercial leisure offer of Dalston and Hackney Central (also known as Hackney Mare Street), as well as provide an appropriate scale and complementary mix of retail and commercial leisure floorspace in the two emerging smaller centres of Hackney Wick and Manor House. 1.2 This introductory section summarises the background to, and key aims of the study. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 1.3 The LB Hackney borders the Boroughs of Islington, Haringey, Waltham Forest, and Tower Hamlets. It is close to the City of London to the south, the Olympic Park and Stratford City in the east and Canary Wharf to the south-east. 1.4 The Borough has a diverse shopping offer, ranging from small parades, to designated town centres and renowned street markets (specifically Ridley Road market). Dalston is the borough’s ‘Major Town Centre’ and is the largest shopping centre in Hackney. Hackney Central, Stoke Newington and Finsbury Park are defined as ‘District Centres’ by the London Plan and serve more local catchment areas, as well as providing specialist town centre offers. New centres for economic activity and residential development are also identified in the Borough, including Manor House, Stoke Newington Road, Shacklewell Lane and Hackney Wick. These centres and others have been designated as local shopping centres and their roles will be maintained and enhanced to better serve their local communities. 1.5 The LB Hackney is set to benefit significantly from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Legacy, including major new infrastructure and transport projects. In particular the 2012 Olympic Legacy is expected to act as a major catalyst for improving the borough’s local economy and town centres. The opening of the East London Line Extension (ELLX) (London Overground) to Dalston, Haggerston and Hoxton in 2010, as well as the improvements to the North London Line, will also increase the attraction of the Borough and its centres for new investment. Other planned strategic transport proposals include Crossrail, the Thames Gateway and the London-Stansted-Cambridge growth corridors. 1.6 Up to 2025 Hackney’s relatively young population is projected to increase to between 250,000 and 260,000, which represents a significant growth of 14% to 18% from 2008. This population growth is likely to reinforce the Borough’s ethnically diverse profile, which is made up of around 41% Black and Asian Ethnic Minorities (BAME) with Black African and Caribbean groups making up the largest minority groups. Hackney February 2011 5 London Borough of Hackney Retail Centres Study Stage 1 Report also has a diversity of faith groups living in the borough with much larger proportions of people of a Jewish and Muslim faiths living in Hackney compared to the rest of London and England. In addition, the housing requirements of the draft replacement London Plan 2009 are for 1,160 net additional new dwellings each year from 2011 to 2021. 1.7 Against this background of significant growth and change, the LB Hackney is developing a comprehensive and complementary approach to the spatial regeneration of the four main study centres. This has included setting up a town centre management (TCM) team to help deliver change and promote new investment. The preparation of Area Action Plans (AAPs) is intended to provide the policy and development framework needed to enable and guide a wide range of new investment in these centres over the next 15 years, including new retail and commercial leisure floorspace. 1.8 These AAPs are briefly reviewed in Section 3 (and covered in more detail by the Stage 2 Report – see below). In summary, the Dalston and Hackney Central AAPs are being produced in a two-stage process. The Phase 1 AAPs were adopted as interim planning guidance prior to the adoption of the Core Strategy in November 2010. The Phase 2 AAPs will be adopted as formal Development Plan Documents (DPD) as part of the Council’s Local Development Framework (LDF). In brief, the plans for Dalston largely focus on the potential for significant new retail, commercial and housing growth around the new Dalston Junction station. For Hackney Central the aim is to strengthen the centre’s administrative and cultural role. 1.9 Hackney Wick is situated on the edge of Hackney and after a period of decline it is now becoming a centre for hi-tech manufacturing and London’s artistic community. It has been identified as a neighbourhood of employment-led mixed use development to maximise the 2012 Olympic Legacy opportunities, including the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) and Main Press Centre (MPC). The AAP for Hackney Wick is also being produced in a two-stage process and amongst its key aims is the creation of a community ‘hub’. 1.10 Separate to the phased approach adopted for the other AAPs, the pre-submission Manor House AAP is currently programmed for publication in April/ May 2011. The local centre at Manor House is situated on the Hackney and Haringey borders and its small-scale offer is focussed around the Piccadilly Line Underground station. Manor House currently serves the Woodberry Down Estate, which is situated on both sides of Seven Sisters and has been identified as the location for a new community, within a regenerated housing estate. Redevelopment will add 2,664 new dwellings to the borough’s housing stock and it represents the largest housing renewal project in Europe. A new Academy, expanded primary school, health centre, youth club and a community centre are also proposed as part of the development. The increased February 2011 London Borough of Hackney Retail Centres Study Stage 1 Report population and new infrastructure at Woodberry Down will create the opportunity to significantly improve Manor House’s retail and commercial leisure offer. 1.11 The Borough’s key centres and their relationship to transport infrastructure are shown on the key diagram below. Figure 1.1 Key Diagram Source: LB Hackney Core Strategy (Map 4.1) AIMS OF THE STUDY 1.12 This study has therefore been commissioned by the Council to assist with the further development and implementation of its AAPs for each centre, specifically focusing on practical recommendations on the appropriate scale and type of new retail and leisure floorspace. The Council’s main policy and regeneration objective is to strengthen the February 2011 7 London Borough of Hackney Retail Centres Study Stage 1 Report vitality and viability of its mains centres and increase the retention of shoppers within the Borough, particularly for comparison goods expenditure.

    FACEBOOK Blah blah Messages etc.. ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.
