REPOSITIONING
Anticipating and adapting to change
But how does a place reposition itself?
What are the practical steps it can take?
![Page 4: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY ARE WE LOOKING AT REPOSITIONING?
![Page 5: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is repositioning: academic view
• A strategy to:– counteract decline
(Smith, 2004)– enable places to
identify distinct capabilities and develop competitive advantages (Kavaratzis & Ashworth, 2008; Edensor, 1998)
• Accommodating future trends
– ageing population– growth of e-commerce
![Page 6: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is your current position?
• Traditional metrics:– Vacancy rates and pedestrian flow perceived to be
most useful (easiest to collect)
• These do not always reflect actual performance: – retail turnover (sales)
• Cannot help planning and adapting for change:– catchment / demographic change
![Page 7: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MISMATCH
Academic/policy view on strategic repositioning not reflected by the type of data collected on high streets in practice
![Page 8: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1 IN 18
Number of local authorities surveyed by NRPF who thought demographic information should be collected as part of any ‘health check’
![Page 9: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Repositioning in practice• Local Authorities lack sufficient resources to fulfil
the data requirements of repositioning, ‘Health Checks’, or even what they themselves want/need to monitor (NRPF, 2000)
• Lack of evidence / data undermines ability to challenge OOT development etc. and to ensure Local Plans are updated in line with structural changes in retail/catchment (NRPF, 2000)
![Page 10: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Repositioning in practice for HSUK2020 (NPPF, 2012)• Where is your high street now?
• Are conditions are improving, static or declining?
• Where are you in “a network and hierarchy of centres that is resilient to anticipated future economic changes”?
• Where town centres are in decline are local planning authorities planning positively for their future to encourage economic activity?
![Page 11: Repositioning the High Street Dr Steve Millington Prof Cathy Parker s.millington@mmu.ac.uk](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816132550346895dd08767/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SUSTAINABLE HIGH STREETS NEED TO GATHER OWN DATA
The guidance recommends you do this, but provides little direction on how: therefore;

COLLECTING DATA

Vital and Viable Town Centres (URBED, PPG6 etc)• Pedestrian footfall • Diversity of uses and change • Quality of built environment • Recent and proposed
investment • Accessibility • Attitudes and perceptions • Retailer representation and
demand
• Commercial yields and retail rents
• Vacancy rates • Cultural and social events • Leisure and cultural facilities • Town centre residential
population • Employment in the town centre • Street safety • Sense of place

Collecting data: audit
• What data have you got?
• Who has got data?
• What data should you have?
• Where do you access data?
• Do you have the skills to access the data
• What do you do with data?

Repositioning: evidence and data
• Merchandise– Working with existing
business to adapt
• Activity hours– Business owners– Deliveries
• Retailers:– Attract new entrants– Removing barriers to entry
• Liveability– Planning, property owners– Conservation– Vision/leadership

Conclusion: places need to…
• Understanding their customers
• Understand their catchment more effectively
• Understand how demographic and other trends will impact on their centre
• And so ….
