The retail and leisure sector continues to thrive through a blend of new build projects and strategic refurbishments, often as part of more significant mixed-use developments. This dynamic sector includes a wide variety of spaces such as retail units, gyms, clubs, pubs, takeaways, and bistros, each with specific licensing and customer experience requirements. Cinemas, theatre shows, seasonal markets, live music festivals and outdoor events also play a growing role in boosting footfall, driving the local economy and enhancing community engagement. With flexibility and atmosphere at the forefront, these developments aim to create vibrant, multi-purpose destinations that adapt to evolving leisure trends. Our urban areas often have a mix of these types of uses adjacent and close to residential dwellings. Therefore, one challenge is to ensure we promote these vibrant attractions while balancing high standards of amenity for residents. Nuisance noise can become an issue form the entertainment premises if not properly mitigated and managed.
