The primary purpose of this research project was to discover how local planning authorities are applying the sequential and impact tests of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in taking decisions on new retail development. Other objectives included discovering what types and sizes of new retail developments are being permitted and refused by local planning authorities under the NPPF, and their locational status. The research was based on searches of local authorities’ websites for planning applications for major retail developments; was limited to England (excluding Inner London); and covered applications for which the decisions were taken after the NPPF came into force in March 2012.

The EU sustainable development strategy, launched by the European Council in Gothenburg in 2001 and renewed in June 2006, aims for the continuous improvement of quality of life for current and future generations. The Eurostat monitoring report, published every two years, provides an objective, statistical picture of progress, based on the EU set of sustainable development indicators. Quantitative rules applied consistently across indicators, and visualised through weather symbols, provide a relative assessment of whether Europe is moving in the right direction, and with sufficient haste, given the objectives and targets defined in the strategy. The data presented cover the period from 1990 to 2012 (or the latest year available). The statistics covered illustrate the range of issues relevant for sustainable development, and should contribute to raising awareness of the opportunities and challenges lying ahead.
