520 _aReports on the trend where supermarket chains are building homes and shops as part of schemes centred on new supermarkets, demonstrating an interest in the overall regeneration of areas. Adding affordable housing to retail developments could help to alleviate the current housing crisis with the possibility of providing 35 000 new homes in London alone on new supermarket developments and by using the air space above existing ones. Points out the criticisms that supermarkets and other big retailers gain an unfair competitive advantage by promising affordable housing when applying for planning permissions and that the only criterion for allowing a new supermarket development is whether it brings the level of retail outlets to that needed to service the location. Case studies.
