Local Development Framework

In light of recent permissions granted for additional retail floorspace in Erewash and the submission of an application for a major foodstore in Sandiacre (now withdrawn), the Borough Council commissioned retail consultants. White Young Green to update the Erewash Borough Retail Needs Study (EBRNS) to bring up to date the retail need capacity assessment for the main centres within the Borough over the period to 2026.

This update primarily seeks to review Section 8 (‘Population and Expenditure’) and Section 9 (‘Retail Capacity Assessment and the Role of Existing Centres’) of the 2007 Study (See below). Therefore, this update should be read in conjunction with the 2007 Study and where appropriate, the updated retail figures supersede those identified in the previous study. For ease of reference, this update adopts the same approach adopted in the 2007 Study.
 

Final Erewash Updated Retail Study 2010

Retail Needs Study 2007

On the 6 June 2007 we adopted a Retail Needs Assessment. The study assesses the current retail catchment area, the value of expenditure for and the future retail capacity for Borrowash, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Sandiacre up to 2026. In addition it provides a health check for Breaston, Cotmanhay Road, Draycott, Little Eaton, Kirk Hallam, Sawley and West Hallam.
The study will be used as a material consideration when determining planning applications for retail development and will provide a robust evidence base for policies contained within Local Development Framework.
