Retail & Leisure Development
England & Lyle have specialist expertise and experience in retail and leisure planning and development for both private sector clients and local authorities. We have prepared numerous retail assessments for developers and retailers in support of planning applications for supermarkets, retail warehouses and retail parks, and commercial leisure projects.

We have undertaken several studies for local authorities as part of the evidence base for their LDF preparation, and we have advised on a large number of development proposals to assist local authorities in decision-making. We have also helped clients in making objections to planning applications.
