In a new report, developed with leading built asset consultants EC Harris, the Confederation of British Industry is calling for strong local leadership to work with businesses and the Government to deliver new homes, modern offices, good transport links and thriving high streets. The report outlines a blueprint for regeneration. Among the measures it calls for are: a one-year business rates holiday for firms moving into empty property; planning changes to make it easier to convert empty shops into homes and for cafés and restaurants to introduce temporary outside seating; and using the public sector balance sheet to kick-start investment in building projects. The report also highlights the need for more joined-up strategic local leadership and more proactive planning allied with early private sector engagement.

Property company Hammerson has created a forecasting tool to help assess the future impacts of its shopping centre developments, from construction through to opening. The new tool, which can interrogate 50 sets of data, will help the company maximise employment opportunities and other benefits in its schemes. The tool grew out of research by the developer, working with Jones Lang LaSalle and Envoy Group, and quantifies the long-term economic and socio-economic impact of its shopping centres. Data from nine major shopping centres was used in the research, to look at four key areas: Economic value generated by shopping centres; Benefits to local and central government; Economic benefits to wider communities; Impact on quality of life for individuals. The report, Demonstrating the true value of shopping centres and two companion reports on the Bullring and WestQuay, are available on the Hammerson website.
