Business mix

Isnt the government trying to revive the High Street?

The Portas review concludes with a vision of the high street as

...a civic not a private space...a shared resource in which people come together tocreate value and share experiences... multifunctional and social places which offer

a clear and compelling purpose and experience thats not available elsewhere, and

which meets the interests and needs of the local people.

Sounds great?

Ten of the 12 government-funded"Portas Pilot" towns have seen a fall in thenumber of occupied retail units.

A voluntary organisation set up in response to the Government's implementation of the

Localism Act. Its main aim is to create a Neighbourhood Development Plan. This is a

statutory planning document, containing planning policies relating to our area, which will

influence planners and developers when making planning decisions.

The area around the underground and railway stations is due for renovation there are

many local people who are concerned that the final overall outcome will not match local

aspirations. Although some development has already started, or has been approved, there

is still power for local residents and businesses, through an NDP, to influence the overall

final impact of the independent developments.

There is also concern that smaller scale development is not always in keeping with the

needs and character of the area, and here an NDF can prescribe quite closely how the area

will develop in the future. http://www.ndpwesthampstead.org.uk/
