520 _aThere is a perception that there has been a sudden increase in new retail floor space at first-floor or mezzanine level as a result of planning decisions which support arguments that such floor space does not require planning permission. Critics of the retail industry argue that the current Planning Act creates a loophole that is exploited by retailers to the detriment of planning policy objectives that seek to encourage new retail investment in town centres. Examines whether this perception is supported by the facts, and whether there is need for legislative changes. [Taken from journal abstract].
