Opinion piece

Article Abstract:

It is important that leisure operators and developers give close attention to the recently published 'Town Centre and Retail Development' document, which revises the government's sixth Planning Policy Guidance Note. The document encourages local authorities to promote mixed use developments in town centres, and this could include some entertainment and leisure facilities, although no specific mention is made of this sector. It emphasises the importance of assessing proposals on the basis of their contribution to diversification.
