Our retail experience is extensive and includes large city centre mixed-use scheme, edge of town centre developments in addition to smaller town centre projects, and change of use applications.
It is a requirement under the Retail Planning Guidelines published by the Department of the Environment, that proposed retail schemes.
Stephen Little & Associates have gained extensive experience in the preparation of Retail Impact Statements (RIS) to accompany planning application for a range of retail developments.
