Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Introduction

July 2013 I gva.co.uk 1

1. Introduction

Background & Context

1.1 This report has been prepared by GVA on the instructions of Neath Port Talbot County

Borough Council (‘NPTCBC’) to prepare a retail study to provide the Authority with

essential background information for the emerging Local Development Plan (LDP).

1.2 NPTCBC is currently preparing its LDP and the recommendations in this report will feed

into the LDP process. It is anticipated that the Deposit LDP will be issued for public

consultation in August 2013. To ensure the evidence base for the Deposit Plan is as

robust as possible, NPTCBC has commissioned this county-wide retail study.

1.3 National planning policy guidance requires that local planning authorities’ policies and

proposals in a LDP should be underpinned by comprehensive and credible evidence.

The Welsh Government (WG) document ‘Local Development Plans Wales’ requires local

planning authorities to prepare and maintain an up-to-date evidence base and this

retail study will form an integral part of NPTCBC’s information library. It is intended that

this study will meet these requirements by providing comprehensive survey material,

including surveys of: town centre uses, the availability and use of existing centres, the

health of centres, the accessibility of centres, retail expenditure patterns and proposals in

adjacent areas.

1.4 For the purposes of the study, the main town centres have been defined as: Neath, Port

Talbot and Pontardawe. These centres are the principal focus of the study and its

empirical research. The smaller district and local centres within NPTCBC are also

considered within the report.

Objectives of the Study

1.5 The overall aim of the study is to provide a single evidence base to inform the retailing

and town centres section of the forthcoming NPTCBC LDP, including its strategy, area-

wide policies and reasoned justification. The study will also provide the Council with a

robust evidence base to make development control decisions on planning applications

for retail development and specific allocations of land for retail development within the



town centres. To meet these objectives, the study can be broken down into 3 key

stages. These, together with the principal tasks for each, are as follows:

Stage 1 Town Centre Health Checks

Assess the health of the main centres within the study area using the indicators

provided by Technical Advice Note 4: Retailing & Town Centres (TAN4). This review

would be based on available data from NPTCBC background papers to the LDP

and data records, supplemented by desktop research and site visits. The household

survey (see below) commissioned for the study also provides very useful information

on customer views of the main town centres.

Review of out-of-centre retail provision in each of the main towns to derive a

complete picture of shopping provision in each settlement. This will include an

overview of the key destinations for bulky goods shopping.

Stage 2: Assessment of Current Shopping Patterns & Expenditure Flows

Assess current shopping patterns (for food and different types of non-food shopping,

including bulky goods) and apply this data to current population and per capita

expenditure levels to derive expenditure flows across the County, including leakage

of expenditure to other administrative areas;

Provide a detailed picture of the turnover of town centre and out-of-centre retail

facilities in each of the main centres, including the catchment areas of each

settlement and any inter-relationship between the centres in the County Borough in

terms of shopping behaviour and expenditure flows.

Stage 3 Assessment of the Need for Additional Retail Development in Neath Port Talbot up to

2026

Undertake a quantitative assessment of the likely future retail demand and need for

additional retail floorspace for comparison (including bulky goods) and

convenience goods within each retail centre for the plan period (up to 2026). The

assessment is broken down into food and non-food shopping, and several separate

types of non-food categories are identified including clothing/footwear,

carpets/furniture, DIY, electrical, personal/luxury goods, and recreational goods.

Within the comparison goods analysis, this is split into bulky and non-bulky goods

categories.



Undertake a qualitative assessment of the need for additional retail floorspace for

comparison and convenience goods by examining the quantum, location, range

and choice of food and non-food retail facilities within each centre and identify

(having regard to the position of each settlement in the overall settlement hierarchy)

whether there is sufficient provision or whether there are gaps/deficiencies in

provision.

Account for changing or alternative shopping patterns (where qualitative indicators

or retail commitments (permissions or allocations) dictate) and analyse how these

would affect the resultant retail capacity (or quantitative need).

Advice on the potential impacts that may arise from future retail development,

under construction or proposed (i.e. commitments / planning applications), in

competing centres outside Neath Port Talbot.

Advice on the need for new retail development, the appropriate forms of such

development to accommodate any projected retail need, and the impact that

additional retail floorspace provision would have on the vitality and viability of each

retail centre.

1.6 To achieve the above aims, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of retailing in

Neath Port Talbot addressing both quantitative and qualitative issues. The study takes a

holistic approach to the consideration of retail issues, and takes account of underlying

patterns of sustainability, social inclusion and technological change. Accordingly, this

study includes the following key components:

Provision of a policy analysis, based on the contents of Planning Policy Wales Edition

5 (November 2012) (PPW5). At the local level, the adopted Neath Port Talbot Unitary

Development Plan (UDP) provides the current strategic context for retailing in the

County Borough. The first key stage in the LDP process was the publication of the

Pre-Deposit Plan in September 2011. This outlined the Council’s vision, objectives

and preferred strategy for growth or change, including preferred options for major

development sites. This retail study will facilitate a review of the robustness of

shopping policies and proposals in the UDP, and inform policy formulation as the LDP

is progressed to Deposit stage.

Overview of the retail hierarchy in Neath Port Talbot, focussing on the position of the

Borough’s main centres in the wider hierarchy and their respective retail

performance, the trends and commercial pressures facing the centres and the



strategies which can be employed to maintain and enhance the health of the main

centres;

Assessment of the need for additional retail floorspace across the County Borough,

split into convenience and comparison (bulky and non-bulky) goods floorspace

predictions for each of the main towns up to 2026. This work will draw upon up-to-

date population, per capita expenditure and shopping patterns data to provide a

forecast capacity for NPTCBC as a whole, plus predictions for the main towns. As

part of the assessment of need, qualitative indicators of retail provision in the County

Borough are also reviewed.

Guidance on the opportunities for retail development in and around the main town

centres, including commentary on proposed retail development sites that the

Council have been engaged on. This assessment considers the performance of a

number of known sites against a framework of retail planning policy criteria. The

analysis also looks at other (non-retail policy) material considerations which may be

relevant to the decision-making process, in order to draw robust conclusions on

overall site suitability. It should be noted however that it is not the purpose of this

study to identify locations and/or sites for future retail development. This is a process

that will be undertaken by NPTCBC, yet it will be informed by the findings of this

study.

Following completion of the above tasks, we examine the broad options for the

future of retail and town centre policy in Neath Port Talbot over the lifetime of the

LDP. A set of concise conclusions and a retail strategy for the main centres will be

provided looking at the retail hierarchy and the likely future role of each centre,

town centre improvements and retail development/investment/regeneration

opportunities.

Sources of Information

1.7 A key contributor to a number of the above tasks has been empirical research in the

form of a household telephone survey commissioned by NPTCBC and GVA for this retail

study.

1.8 The survey interviewed 800 people across a wide geographic area, based on postcode

sector areas, within the NPTCBC administrative area plus adjoining local authority

boundaries. A plan of the survey area is contained at Appendix A of this report. The



survey, the parameters of which are explained in greater detail in Section 5 of this report,

has established shopping habits of households for different types of food and non-food

goods and has, in turn, contributed towards the detailed assessment of need for

additional retail floorspace.

1.9 The survey has also been structured to ascertain customer profiles, mode of travel to

shopping destinations, plus a number of attitudinal questions determining what users think

about the various town centres, and potential improvements to these centres. A full

copy of the household survey tabulations is contained at Appendix B.

1.10 NPTCBC has prepared a wide range of background documents to the LDP from a retail

perspective. These provide a significant and readily available data source for this study

and include the following:

1.11 In addition to these sources, a further useful reference regarding retailing in Neath is The

Retail Group’s ‘Neath Town Centre Growth Strategy’ (July 2012) which provides a

detailed understanding of the Neath customer base, the various catchment groups, the

existing retail offer and a detailed gap area analysis. This work has informed the

promotion, by NPTCBC’s regeneration department, of a comprehensive retail-led mixed

use development in Neath town centre (including retail, food & drink, residential and car

parking areas) and further references to this scheme are made later in this report.

Structure of the Report

1.12 The principal tasks outlined above will provide NPTCBC with an updated evidence base

to inform the retailing and town centres section of the forthcoming LDP including its

strategy, area-wide policies and reasoned justification. It will also assist NPTCBC in

making development control decisions on planning applications and identifying specific

allocations for retail development within the emerging LDP. The remainder of this report

is structured as follows:

Section 2 provides a brief review of current national planning policy guidance, plus

retail policies contained within the current local planning policy context outlined in

the adopted UDP and a summary of the strategy and approach proposed in the

Pre-Deposit Plan which was published by NPTCBC in Sept 2011.

Section 3 analyses national retail trends. This includes a look back at recent historic

trends, plus examination of likely future trends at the national level.

Section 4 provides an assessment of the retail hierarchy within Neath Port Talbot and

the surrounding area, concentrating on the health of the three main town centres

based on the relevant performance indicators set out in national planning policy

guidance. This section also provides an overview of out-of-centre retail provision

within the County and retail provision in the sub-region and an assessment of

potential town centre development sites in the NPTCBC administrative area.



Section 5 sets out an assessment of future need for additional retail floorspace

provision in NPT over the lifetime of the LDP (up to 2026). It examines both

quantitative and qualitative considerations of retail need and expresses estimates of

need for each of the key town centres.

Section 6 considers development sites that may be potentially suitable for

accommodating additional retail floorspace (if required) in the County Borough.

Section 7 draws together the findings of preceding chapters, summarises the key

findings of the study and outlines the broad policy options for the LDP, examining

future trends for floorspace capacity in the County Borough.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Planning Policy Overview


2. Planning Policy Overview

2.1 This section of the report provides an overview of the key aspects of national planning

policy guidance affecting retail development and town centres, and the implications of

that on NPTCBC and its LDP.

National Planning Policy

Wales Spatial Plan

2.2 From a strategic perspective, Neath Port Talbot forms an integral part of the Wales

Spatial Plan ‘Swansea Bay Waterfront and Western Valleys’ region.

2.3 The Wales Spatial Plan (WSP) identifies Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe as Primary

Key Settlements and sets the following vision for the wider region:

“A network of interdependent settlements with Swansea at its heart which

pull together effectively as a city region with a modern, competitive,

knowledge-based economy designed to deliver a high quality of life, a

sustainable environment, a vibrant waterfront and excellent national and

international connections’.



2.4 Vibrant, well-performing town centres are a key part of achieving this vision as the

strategy seeks to establish a strong network of urban centres providing an important

retail, employment and service function. Port Talbot, Neath and Pontardawe are

identified as key settlements within the Spatial Plan and therefore have a critical role to

play in the success of the region.

2.5 The WSP sees the location of new housing as a key influence on the pattern of

development within the area, and recognises the potential influence that the 4000 new

dwellings at Coed Darcy could have on the region.

2.6 In the Autumn of 2011, the Welsh Minister for Business, Enterprise, Technology and

Science established a Task and Finish Group to determine whether a city region

approach was likely to deliver more jobs and greater prosperity in Wales than current

approaches to economic development. The City Regions Final Report was published in

July 2012 and its principal recommendations were that two city regions should be

recognised within Wales – one in the south east (known as the South East Wales City

Region covering a population of 1.4 million) and one in the south west (the Swansea Bay

City Region covering a population of 700,000). The Swansea Bay City Region includes

the NPTCBC area (along with Swansea, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire), and in

August 2012 these Authorities appointed a multidisciplinary consultancy team to assist

with the preparation of an Economic Regeneration Strategy to guide the regeneration

of the city region economy over the next 10 years. The strategy will address the key

economic challenges and opportunities in the South West Wales region and the key

recommendations for the region published in the WG Task and Finish Group’s report.

Planning Policy Wales

2.7 Edition 5 of Planning Policy Wales (PPW5) was published by the WG in November 2012. A

brief outline of the key headlines from PPW5 is provided below.

2.8 The WG’s objectives for retailing and town centres are to:

Secure accessible, efficient, competitive and innovative retail provision for all the

communities of Wales, in both urban and rural areas;

Promote established town, district, local and village centres as the most appropriate

locations for retailing, leisure and other complimentary functions;



Enhance the vitality, attractiveness and viability of town, district, local and village

centres; and to

Promote access to these centres by public transport, walking and cycling.

2.9 PPW advises LPAs to develop clear strategy and policies for retail development which

seek to achieve vital, attractive and viable centres. Development plans should establish

the existing retail hierarchy and be clear about the future role of town centres.

Development plans are encouraged to identify potential locations for expansion of retail

facilities, whilst also considering measures to reinvigorate centres, or manage decline.

LPAs are encouraged to ensure that centres contain a diversity of uses for performance

and sustainability reasons.

2.10 PPW concludes that development plans should:

establish the strategic role to be performed by the main centres in the retail hierarchy;

set out measures to reinvigorate particular centres, as appropriate;

set out detailed policies to achieve vital, attractive and viable centres;

allocate sites for new retail and leisure facilities and other uses best located in town

centres, where there is assessed to be a quantitative or qualitative need using the

sequential approach;

include a criteria based policy against which proposals coming forward on

unallocated sites can be judged; and

set out policies for primary and secondary frontages, where appropriate.

2.11 Whilst national planning policy has been updated a number of times since 1996,

Technical Advice Note (Wales) 4: Retailing and Town Centres (TAN4) remains an

important source of guidance to LPAs when preparing development plans. TAN4 notes

that information on the retail industry in a local planning authority's area together with

information on the functioning of their town centres will assist the preparation of

development plans and the consideration of planning applications. Baseline

information and time series data can provide a picture of change and a guide to future

trends.

2.12 PPW was updated in November 2012 by the introduction of a revised Chapter 7:

Supporting the Economy. This updated chapter encourages Local Planning Authorities



to take a wider ‘whole economy’ view of employment-generating uses and to promote

sustainable, highly accessible locations for economic development. This has a clear

relationship with Chapter 10 of PPW5 and the identification of established centres as the

most appropriate locations for retail, leisure and other complementary functions.

National Assembly for Wales Enterprise & Business Committee: Regeneration of Town Centres

(January 2012)

2.13 In January 2012, the Enterprise and Business Committee (EBC) published its report on its

inquiry into the regeneration of town centres and set out 21 recommendations for the

future. The Inquiry sought to secure responses to the following questions:

What approaches have been followed to successfully deliver and finance the

regeneration of town centres in Wales? Are there lessons to be learned from

elsewhere?

How does the Welsh Government use the levers at its disposal to assist in the

regeneration of town centres in Wales?

How are the interests and activities of communities, businesses, local authorities and

Welsh Ministers identified and coordinated when developing and implementing town

centre regeneration projects?

2.14 The report made a total of 21 recommendations, many of which related to matters that

the WG need to address. There were a number of recommendations, however, which

are relevant to town centres and retail planning from a local planning authority

perspective. These are summarised below:

PPW should fully protect town centres from the potential impacts of out-of-town retail

developments, and improve the implementation of national and local planning

policy;

LPAs should make better use of contractual agreements with out-of-town retailers to

protect the vitality of town centres;

Examples of good practice should be disseminated more widely;

The WG should commission research on the effects that supermarkets can have on

town centres and that all supermarket proposals should be required to prepare local

impact assessments



LPAs should consider office and work-place developments as a means of increasing

town centre footfall;

Update TAN 4 to include guidance for LPAs on imposing conditions on retail

development regarding more flexible working hours

Within the LDP Framework, each town should have a comprehensive plan in place,

which contains actions for addressing the issues affecting the viability of the town

centre – the WG accepted the principle of this recommendation but considered it a

matter for LPAs to take forward through the evidence base and community

involvement scheme required to ensure the progress of a sound LDP;

WG should develop a robust framework for the design, development and delivery of

town centre regeneration projects

2.15 On 21st March 2012, the WG provided its written response to the EBC report. The vast

majority of its recommendations (including those listed above) were accepted by the

WG and it is anticipated that these will be implemented over the coming months and

years.

2.16 The regeneration of Neath town centre has recently been held up as an example of

good practice in town centre regeneration within a report to the Welsh Government

entitled ‘Evaluation of Current Practice in Relation to Town Centre Regeneration’ (Miller

Consulting, October 2012). The case study, found on page 47 of the report, outlines the

traffic management, public realm and redevelopment projects within the town centre.

Local Planning Policy

Adopted Planning Policy

2.17 Retail policy at the local level is currently set by the adopted Neath Port Talbot Unitary

Development Plan (UDP) (March 2008).

2.18 The retail policies of the UDP were informed by the findings of the County Retail Studies

undertaken in 2000 (by Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners) and 2006 (undertaken by King

Sturge). These studies highlighted the influence of the sub-regional centres of Swansea

and Cardiff on shopping patterns in the County Borough, and of the smaller centres like

Bridgend and the out-of-town retail facilities at Swansea Enterprise Zone and the



McArthur Glen outlet at Bridgend. In response, the UDP’s policy strategy seeks to protect

and enhance the established centres to address the trade loss identified (in 2000, it was

found that 71% of comparison expenditure and 50% of convenience expenditure was

being spent outside the County Borough).

2.19 Strategic Policy 15 establishes Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe as the primary town

centres in the Borough, providing retail, leisure and cultural facilities to the surrounding

communities. Policy 15 seeks to protect and enhance these centres. Similar protection is

provided for district, local and village centres under Policy 16.

2.20 The UDP defines the primary and secondary frontages within the main town centres and,

under Policy TRL1, seeks to direct proposals for retail and other town centre uses to these

areas. The policy provides a series of criteria which all proposals would need to satisfy

and these relate to matters of impact, ground floor frontage, and character, layout and

pedestrian movement within the centre. Policy TRL2 seeks to protect the vitality and

viability of the primary shopping streets by supporting appropriate non-retail uses

provided that the retail uses remain dominant. Within the secondary retail areas, non-

retail uses will be supported but only where the property has been marketed

unsuccessfully for a town centre use for at least 2 years, it does not ‘break’ a continuous

retail frontage, will not create amenity issues for future occupiers, and will not result in the

loss of a supermarket, shop, café or public house deemed to be a significant community

facility.

2.21 Out of centre retail proposals are controlled by Policy TRL4. This policy states that

proposals for retail, leisure or other uses best located in town centres will only be

permitted subject to the tests of need, impact, and the sequential site test, and provided

the site is accessible by a range of means of transport and will not result in the loss of

employment or housing land, or create an unacceptable impact in highway and

amenity terms.

2.22 The remaining retail policies of the adopted UDP seek to encourage appropriately

scaled development within the smaller centres to their communities.

Emerging Planning Policy – Pre Deposit Plan (September 2011)

2.23 NPTCBC are preparing a Local Development Plan (LDP), the first key stage of which

comprised the Pre-Deposit Plan (published in September 2011). The LDP is intended to



provide a more concise and evidence-based set of development policies that will

replace the current UDP. It will set the objectives and policies for the development and

use of land in the County Borough up to 2026.

2.24 The Pre-Deposit version of the Neath Port Talbot LDP was published in September 2011. A

total of 7 growth options were considered for the plan and of these, ‘Moderate Growth’

was selected as the preferred option. This was based on a reducing rate of population

increase which reflects the trends for decreasing household size and an aging

population within the County Borough.

2.25 The preferred strategy was queried by the Welsh Government (WG) in its representations

to the Pre-Deposit Plan. The WG considers that based on past trends, the LDP was

proposing a significant over-allocation of employment land, and queried whether this is

justified. NPTCBC has commissioned an Employment Land Review and Economic

Growth Assessment to investigate this issue and make recommendations to inform the

economic development strategy for the LDP.

2.26 There is a clear relationship between this retail study and the ELR. Both studies consider

the population growth rates predicted under the 7 growth options and compare these

with published data that will inform the assessment of retail need and economic growth.

Additionally, the recommendations of one study (i.e. if there is a need to release

employment land for alternative development) will inform the other (i.e. if retail need

requires additional development sites and suitable surplus employment land is

available).

2.27 In terms of its retail policies, the Pre-Deposit LDP identified the vitality and viability of

existing centres as a key concern given the potential impacts of competing out-of-

centre retail and the dilution of the retail character of existing centres. In line with this,

one of the key objectives identified by the Pre-Deposit LDP was to:

Maintain, enhance and develop a hierarchy of retail centres in line with the

settlement framework which are easily accessible and form the focus for the

community to meet the needs of all residents.

2.28 The identified preferred spatial strategy was to focus new development along the

coastal / M4 Corridor whilst reinvigorating the Valley Communities. This provides a focus

for new development on the Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe urban areas. Along



with Pontardawe, the Glynneath/Resolven area has been identified as a priority growth

point in the valleys.

2.29 The plan recognized leisure, retail and other town centre uses as part of its employment

strategy for the plan period, and the contribution these uses can make to the objective

of achieving a sustainable economy.

2.30 The strategic policies in the Pre-Deposit LDP sought to establish a retail hierarchy (Policy

9), ensure new retail proposals contribute to or sustain the vitality, viability and

attractiveness of existing centres (Policy 10), and resist proposals that would undermine

this (Policy 11).

2.31 The overall aim of these policies is to maintain and enhance the role of the three town

centres of Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe, and maintain the function of the district

and local centres. The retail hierarchy for the County is established in the Deposit LDP.

2.32 The following key objectives have informed the development of the detailed policies in

the Deposit LDP. These include:

Ensuring that all new retail proposals are in line with the hierarchy and any outside

the hierarchy can be fully justified;

Promoting a mix of uses in town, district and local centres with retail in close

proximity to other commercial business, facilities for leisure, community facilities,

employment opportunities and housing;

Identifying and protecting primary frontages within Neath and Port Talbot;

Supporting the Neath Town Centre regeneration to expand retail choice and

provision;

Delivering a mix of uses at the Harbourside redevelopment in Port Talbot,

including housing, motor related, bulky goods and water-side leisure shopping,

sports, business and office facilities

Protecting the offer and role of the district centres by reviewing their boundaries

and limiting the number of A3 uses within those centres.



Providing an up to date forecast of retail capacity, proposing measures to

reduce retail expenditure leakage from the County Borough and, if required,

identifying suitable sites for retail development (including for bulky goods retail

stores).

2.33 The consultation period for the Pre-Deposit LDP ran from Monday 5th September to

Monday 17th October 2011, and the Council’s initial response to the representations

made was issued in December 2011. The comments made will be reviewed and

considered in detail prior to the publication of the Deposit Plan which is scheduled for

August 2013. This retail study is a key element of the Council’s evidence base for the

Deposit LDP.

2.34 As part of the on-going work to prepare the Deposit LDP, the Council has revisited its

population projections and preferred strategy for growth. The revised population

projections which will be included in the Deposit LDP are based on employment

requirements over the plan period and anticipate a population change of 7043 people

between 2010 and 2026, which will require a total of 8,027 new homes at a rate of 535

per year over the LDP period – this is the growth rate on which this retail study has been

based. This is higher than the ‘Moderate Growth’ option identified at Pre-Deposit stage

(which was 6279 new homes at a rate of 419 per year).

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Town Centre Assessment


3. Retail Trends

3.1 This section of the report provides an overview of the key changes to the UK retail sector

since the last retail study was undertaken in 2006.

Recent and Future Retail Trends

UK Retail spending growth

3.2 The last 40 years (1968 – 2008) have seen retail expenditure per head grow at 2.8% pa.

This is higher than consumer expenditure per head growth at 2.4% pa, which was more in

line with overall economic growth. As incomes have risen, greater proportions have

been spent on retail goods and in particular on comparison or non-food goods, fuelling

the demand for retail floorspace. Growth in spending per head on comparison (non-

food) goods has been exceptional. Chart 1 below shows it accelerating from an

average of just under 3% pa during the 1960s and 1970s to just over 4% pa in the 1980s,

5.5% pa in the 1990s and 6% pa from 2001 to 2007. In contrast spending on food has

grown at a slow, steady rate of c.0.5% pa.



3.3 The very strong growth in non-food expenditure per head, until the onset of recession,

was underpinned by numerous factors including a lower tax burden, low inflation/interest

rates, lower levels of savings and higher borrowing. Price deflation also boosted non-

food spending, with cheaper imports from China/the Far East, coupled with competition

from the internet forcing down prices. Total spending was also reinforced by strong

population growth.

3.4 Many of these trends were unsustainable and the debt fuelled boom eventually led to a

major recession. This has resulted in much weaker non-food expenditure growth, which

even turned negative in 2009. Growth in food spending has been more resilient. The

next five years are set to see major cuts in public sector spending and employment, plus

tax increases to reduce the huge annual budget deficit and public debt. This is likely to

mean a relatively weak economic upturn and for the retail sector weaker income and

expenditure growth for many years. This will be reinforced by the ageing population and

pension concerns.

3.5 The outlook:

Recent forecasts by Experian expect non-food expenditure per head growth to

average about 2.5% pa over the next five years and about 3% pa over the next 15

years. These rates are much lower than recent and longer term trends but are more in

line with overall growth in the economy.

Less development will be needed as a result of weaker expenditure growth. In some

towns a contraction in retail space may be inevitable. Greater polarisation between

centres will be inevitable.

In many towns, development viability will remain a problem for some years due to

weaker expenditure and rental growth, making new development more difficult,

particularly for complex sites in multiple ownership.

Specifically for NPT: the projected lower levels of retail expenditure growth will have a

negative impact on retail capacity over the LDP period, an impact which may

appear to be more pronounced in lower order regional centres. Whilst the dominant

regional centres such as Swansea and Cardiff may have the capacity (in terms of

floorspace levels and the presence of key high street operators) to ‘weather the

storm’, those town centres occupying lower positions on the regional retail hierarchy

may find the vitality and viability of the centres threatened as demand for new

floorspace falls, and existing retailers (both in the multiple and independent sectors)



see turnover levels fall. The growth in the ‘value’ retail market may assist in counter-

acting this. However, there remain opportunities for growth in Neath Port Talbot,

particularly where there are schemes which can divert expenditure which is currently

being lost to higher order centres and an example of this is the current Neath town

centre regeneration scheme being promoted by the Council’s regeneration

department.

The internet and online shopping

3.6 The need for physical space in the retail sector and the way retail space is used has

been affected by the rising popularity of online shopping. Whilst the retail market overall

has contracted during the recent recession, online expenditure has continued to grow

by some 15% pa to £21.2bn in 2009 (Verdict, 2010). Low cost, high speed internet access

in more UK homes has led to increasing numbers of adults shopping online, with a figure

of around 29.6 million predicted at 2010 (nearly 60% of the adult population). This is

almost triple the figure from 2004. Further growth in online shoppers will be limited as the

numbers of computer literate adults, or those with broadband internet access approach

saturation point.

3.7 As customers have gained familiarity and confidence in a service which is often cheaper

and more convenient than traditional methods of shopping, levels of online spending

have risen. Chart 2 below shows that by 2014 online expenditure per head is forecast to

grow by a third. Selling directly to the customer cuts out expensive overheads such as

rent and staffing costs. This keeps prices low, which has helped to increase online sales

during the economic downturn. E-tail has penetrated certain retail sectors more than

others impacting significantly on music and DVD sales in particular. Currently over half of

the sector’s products are purchased online. With consumers now able to download

music and DVD files directly, in-store purchases are expected to continue declining, with

online expenditure set to account for 70% of the market by 2013. The increase in illegal

downloading has also exacerbated the sector’s in-store sales decline.



3.8 Other retail sectors have not been as greatly affected, with online spending on goods

such as clothing and footwear and food/grocery items growing at a slower, steadier

rate, as consumers prefer to examine goods in person before purchasing, but even here

attitudes are changing.

3.9 The outlook:

If on-line sales continue their rapid expansion and expenditure per head growth

remains weak, net spending in shops may show hardly any growth while it will still be

necessary to improve the quality of stock. This will have implications for quality of

floorspace needed and the vitality of existing centres, particularly when sales density

increases, due to increased trading efficiency, are allowed for.

Most forecasters anticipate that the growth in online sales will slow as access to

broadband reaches saturation within the next few years. But if this doesn’t happen

and online sales continue to grow strongly as shoppers become more and more

familiar with shopping online, this would cause serious problems for town centres and

retail parks alike.

With continued strong growth of online shopping the role of ‘bricks and mortar’

retailing will evolve with shops becoming more like showrooms and collection points

for on-line sales. This will lead to further evolution of retailers’ branch networks.

The internet will never completely replace the experience of shopping and the desire

of shoppers to touch and feel products before buying them, but it will have to be



made more enjoyable and exciting to compete with the convenience and lower cost

of online shopping.

Specifically for NPT: all of these issues will affect stores and centres in NPTCBC, as the

larger supermarkets grow their online home delivery services and national brands such

as Amazon and Ebay continue to dominate comparison goods sales. Whilst some of

the national multiple stores in Neath and Port Talbot will be insulated from some of

these affects, as they can offer a service which allows customers to pick up goods

bought online in store, smaller local independent stores in town centres will need to

carefully consider whether they are able to compete with on-line retailers. In the

context of NPT, this could see smaller retailers changing their retail offer in order to

minimise competition with online retailers and serve a more local walk-in customer

base (i.e. moving from general comparison retailing to a more service led customer

function). There could also be a shift away from the traditional high street for some

specialist retailers, who are gaining a larger proportion of their trade from online sales,

and therefore see no need to remain in a high street location.

Retail stock and development trends

3.10 Retail stock in England and Wales has grown steadily over the last 40 years. Between

1971 and 2004 the total stock increased by 54% from 72.1 million sq.m. to over 110 million

sq.m. Direct comparisons with more recent figures are not possible due to definitional

changes. Chart 3 below shows the pace of development has accelerated with

strongest growth 1994-2004 (+21%) compared with growth of 12-14% over the previous

two decades.



3.11 The last decade saw an exceptional amount of town centre development, almost 50%

greater than in each of the previous two decades, with numerous major schemes such

as the Bullring in Birmingham, Liverpool One, Cabot Circus in Bristol, Princesshay in Exeter,

Drakes Circus in Plymouth and St David’s 2 in Cardiff. In part, this was due to the pro-

town centre planning policies and in part due to the huge growth in comparison (or non-

food) retail expenditure over the latter half of the 1990s and in the 2000s. Strong retail

expenditure growth, increased retailer demand, rental growth and lower interest rates

resulted in lower investment yields, strong capital value growth and improved

development viability. This coupled with the banks willingness/enthusiasm for property

lending, encouraged a high level of development activity.

3.12 But when the recession came, investment yields increased dramatically, rental values

declined and development activity in England and Wales collapsed as Chart 4 below

shows. New construction orders for retail at the end of 2009 were, in constant price

terms, only 35% of their level two years previously, and lower than in the previous

recession despite the UK economy being nearly 50% larger. Major town centre schemes

have stalled and few major schemes are scheduled to open in 2012.



3.13 The outlook:

Can town centre development activity return to the levels seen in recent years?

Developers now face difficult decisions with viability constrained and likely to remain

so for some time. Retailer demand, rental growth and consumer confidence will

remain weak, and development costs will be under pressure due to planning gain

requirements and sustainability issues.

The challenge for major retail led town centre schemes is their size which makes them

costly and lengthy to implement. Will the future see developers opting for smaller, less

risky schemes, or development in phases, or will they simply look to redevelop existing

assets, or lower cost development solutions in non-central locations?

The difficulty of obtaining bank finance is likely to persist, putting pressure on the

public purse to help finance schemes. Without this, many stalled schemes may never

get off the ground, however with budget cuts, public funding will also be constrained

for the foreseeable future.

Much will depend on how planning policy responds to the post recession environment

and the stance taken by the WG. The new Chapter 7 PPW clearly encourages LPAs

to take a ‘whole economy’ approach to new development, but with a maintained

focus on town centres as the most appropriate location for a range of uses which

attract people. This may require more non-central development to come forward as



a mechanism to deliver a wider range of uses, particularly on edge-of-centre sites with

effective and functional linkage with existing town centre cores.

Specifically for NPT: each of the three principal towns in NPT is likely to be hit by these

trends. Even before the recession, town centre development in each of the three

town centres was a complicated and, in some cases, a difficult to achieve aspiration.

This will be reinforced by the economic downturn, with lower levels of retailer

requirements for these towns, as retailers become more selective. These issues

reinforce the need for the public sector to take a pro-active and leading role in the

promotion of town centre and retail development, a role which the Council’s

regeneration department is actively pursuing in Neath town centre with the current

retail-led regeneration scheme.

Development activity by size of town

3.14 PPW continues to promote town centres as the focus for development activity. Using the

EGi shopping centres database (which covers all schemes of over 50,000 sq ft (4,645

sq.m.)), town centre development activity has been tracked from 1960 to the end of

2009. The analysis includes all schemes, both new builds and extensions, and includes

projects which were already under construction in 2009. London is excluded from the

analysis.

3.15 Retail development has fluctuated over the past five decades with 1.4 million sq.m. built

in the 1960s, between 2.2 million and 2.9 million sq.m. built per decade during the 1970s,

1980s and 1990s and then 4.2 million sq.m. built between 2000 and 2009. Over the last 50

years, the greatest amount of development, totalling nearly 3.6 million sq.m, took place

in larger towns with urban populations of 100,000 - 250,000. This equated to 26% of all

new town centre retail space. A similar amount of space was built overall in the smallest

sized towns (<50,000 people), although with significantly more towns of this size, in terms

of space built per person it equates to only 0.15 sq.m., compared with 0.57 sq.m. per

person in the larger towns.

3.16 Towns in the two largest size bands have consistently contributed 45%- 50% of the total

development in each decade. Nearly all of the largest towns had new development

during the 2000s and overall twice as much town centre space was built over the last ten

years compared with the previous ten.



3.17 Analysis of the average amount of retail space built per person (see table below) shows

that over the last decade medium sized towns (75,000-100,000 people) have seen the

most with 0.18 sq.m. built per person. This compares with 0.13-0.16 sq.m. per person built

in towns of over 100,000 people. The figures show the concentration of development in

the medium-large towns with smaller towns seeing much lower levels of development

activity (0.045 sq.m. per person in towns of less than 50,000 people).

3.18 The outlook:

The major retailers increasingly favour the larger towns. With strong investor demand

for prime town centre retail schemes and with the recent fall in prime yields

development viability may soon return. But even in prime towns simpler schemes with

lower costs will be the order of the day.

In towns below the sub-regional tier (like Neath and Port Talbot), weak retailer

demand, weaker retailer covenants, shorter leases and/or break clauses, and the

threat from online sales may cause yields to remain high and development viability to

remain poor, threatening the future of these towns. While market towns and local

centres will be supported by their convenience and services offer, the ongoing

pattern of polarisation will pose even more challenges to the mid sized towns, and this

will be a challenge for both Neath and Port Talbot going forward.

Retailer trends



3.19 The retail sector is dynamic and constantly changing in response to consumer demands.

One key trend has been the consolidation of the market into fewer, larger retail

businesses, as the table shows. The number of small retail outlets employing less than 10

staff has declined dramatically (-53%), contrasting with 5,837% growth in outlets

employing more than 100 staff. Multiple retailers now tend to dominate the core

shopping areas of most UK towns giving rise to the term ‘clone towns’. The recent

recession however has hit the retail market hard with the collapse of numerous ‘big’

names such as Woolworths, MFI, Rosebys, Zavvi, Borders, Dolcis, Virgin, Faith, Land of

Leather and Allied Carpets.

3.20 A key trend during these difficult economic times has been the strong growth at the

value end of the retail market. Primark and Matalan, along with numerous ‘pound’

shops and value grocers such as Lidl and Aldi have all thrived in recent years. Other

retailers such as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose have

also launched ‘value’ ranges to compete for this growing sector of the market.

Competition and the fight for market share is driving many retailers to branch out

beyond their standard/traditional retail offer to appeal to a wider audience. This is most

evident amongst the grocers with the top four (Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury and Tesco)

branching out extensively into non-food markets in recent years, although during 2012

Tesco has appeared to change course following disappointing recent results.

3.21 As the table above shows, significant proportions of their superstores are now dedicated

to non-food ranges. The fight for increased market share is not restricted to food

retailers, with DIY stores offering wider ranges of soft furnishings, Next offering home

furnishings/furniture and Boots offering toys, children’s clothing, greetings cards, cameras

and photo goods. Several retailers, including Asda, Tesco and Wilkinson have also

launched their own catalogue services for non-food items to compete with the likes of

Argos, offering home delivery or in-store collection.



3.22 With wider product ranges, demand has grown for larger stores. New store formats have

also emerged, e.g. Asda Living, Tesco Homeplus, Next Home, Debenhams Desire stores

and John Lewis at Home. In the current climate this has enabled some of these retailers,

such as John Lewis, who have struggled to find the right space in town centres, to look at

out-of-centre locations. At the other end of the spectrum, food retailers keen to

capitalise on the local convenience market, have developed smaller store formats to sit

on high streets or in smaller shopping centres (e.g. Tesco Metro/Express, Sainsbury’s

Local). This trend has helped retailers increase market share in areas where planning

policy would prevent the development of their larger format stores. These trends all

illustrate how the retail sector has evolved. Growth in the size of retail businesses,

combined with expanding product ranges and new business formats has led to changes

in the types of stores retailers are demanding and the locations they are prepared to

trade in.

3.23 The outlook:

Retailers will continue seeking larger, modern units. They no longer require stores in

every town and the focus will be on the prime markets/larger towns and cities where

suitable space can be accommodated.

What is the future for small/medium towns? Retailers will focus efforts on the top 50-

100 locations and aim to achieve all their turnover from large stores in these centres,

and use multichannel retailing such as the internet to fulfil other customer needs.

This will compound the problems experienced by smaller traditional/historic towns

which will find it increasingly difficult to meet retailers’ current space requirements.

The only solution is to find more innovative designs or consider other options such as

opening the door to edge-of and out-of centre retailing. Or will smaller towns have to

change focus and opt for a different role moving forward?

Stores will no longer be simply points of sale, but will increasingly function as show

rooms and/or collection points for internet orders, unless town centres can reinvent

themselves with a more exciting offer and integrated leisure facilities to make the

shopping trip more enjoyable and more of a quasi leisure experience.

With town centre developments stalled, retailers are again turning their focus to out of

centre locations and once they have moved out of centre will they go back? With

retailers such as John Lewis, who would previously have anchored major town centre



schemes, developing formats which enable them to trade from an out-of-centre

location, is the future for town centre development under threat?

Local authorities will face a difficult dilemma in circumstances where a retailer cannot

be accommodated in a town centre. Do they allow them to move out-of-town,

which could threaten the viability of future town centre schemes, or risk losing them to

a competing town, and thus not have them at all?

Specifically for NPT: attracting key multiple retailers will be a challenge for Neath, Port

Talbot and, particularly, Pontardawe. Without readily available retail floorspace

within these centres, pressure may be applied from operators and developers for the

release of new edge-of-centre locations, or for the expansion of existing out of centre

retail destinations. Redevelopment opportunities will need to be identified within

these centres (the preparation of regeneration strategies for the three town centres is

well-advanced, including Neath town centre retail-led regeneration scheme, and will

assist this process) to address any pressure for out of centre releases.

Rental value growth

3.24 In-town sectors have seen a lower rate of rental growth than retail warehouses over the

last 20 years, as new supply has been constrained by planning policy (Chart 6 below).

However, in the recent recession, the performance of in-town and out-of-town retail

property was almost identical, but over the last 12 months performance is diverging

again.



3.25 Interestingly, in-town sectors have tended to under-perform retail warehouses during

cyclical upturns, but performance has tended to be more similar during downturns.

Within town centres, standard (high street) shops have underperformed in-town

shopping centres and this trend is likely to continue. Since the start of the recent

recession town centre rental values have fallen by about 10% on average, but this masks

wide divergence at the local level. In central London, for example, prime rental values

have increased slightly (significantly in Bond Street), whereas in some cities such as

Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester they have decreased by nearly 20% and in others

such as Cardiff and Plymouth they have fallen by as much as 35%. The table shows long-

term rental performance in real terms (by stripping out RPI inflation to account for the

varying inflation environments over the last 20 years). Retail warehouses have seen a

very strong trend rate of growth of more than 2% pa above inflation over the period,



compared with in-town shopping centres where growth has been in line with inflation,

and standard (high street) shops, which have seen a decline in real terms of -0.7% pa.

3.26 The outlook:

Retail warehousing is now a more ‘mature’ sector, and is unlikely to see the degree of

out-performance going forward that it experienced over the last 20 years. The

restrictions on out-of town development and the focus on revitalising town centres is

expected to continue, although there may be changes to planning policies. So

supply constraints are likely to remain and this would mean continued out-

performance for out-of-town retail property over the long term, although by a lower

margin than in the past.

Specifically for NPT: Stronger rental growth in out-of-centre locations will increase

investor demand and put downward pressure on yields and upward pressure on

capital values. This will enhance development viability relative to town centre sites

and increase pressure to permit more edge and out-of-centre development.

Therefore, the Council must be strong in its resistance to out of centre schemes and

the need to take a pro-active role in promoting town centre development itself will

assist in this process.

Demographics

3.27 In 1971, the UK population was just under 56 million. Nearly forty years later it has risen to

just over 62.5 million - an average annual increase of 0.3%. However, the population has

been growing at an accelerating rate. Between 1971 and 1991 the average growth

rate was 0.14% pa, which is significantly lower than the 0.45% pa average between 1991

and 2010. Over the next 20 years (2011–2031) the population is forecast to grow even

faster (0.66% pa).

3.28 Advances in healthcare and medicine mean people are living much longer, a trend

that will continue for the foreseeable future. Between 1971 and 2011, the number of UK

inhabitants aged over 85 almost tripled from just under 0.5 million to 1.45 million. Looking

ahead, the number of people in this age bracket is expected to more than double to

almost 3 million by 2031. The number of 65 to 84 year olds is also expected to rise

considerably (+42%) over the same period (see chart 8). In contrast, the number of UK

inhabitants aged 15 to 24 has not changed greatly over the last 40 years, with

approximately the same number today (8.2 million) as in 1971 (8.1 million). Over the next



decade, the number of people in this age group is expected to drop 8.5% to 7.5 million,

before showing signs of starting to increase again.

3.29 Although the fertility rate in the UK has increased year-on-year since 2001, in 2008 it was

1.96 children per woman, remaining just below the natural replacement level of 2.1. This

helps in part to explain the imbalance between age group numbers.

3.30 The outlook:

In terms of the impact for the retail sector, increased life expectancy and immigration

combine to add to the UK’s ‘top heavy’ age structure, something which will continue

to affect not only levels of expenditure per head but also its composition.

Older people’s purchasing habits are different, with a preference to spend money on

leisure activities/holidays, with less on consumer products. This could be significant for

the retail sector. The financial burden of supporting an ageing population will also

place a further strain on the working generation, potentially reducing disposable

income levels and therefore overall consumer expenditure.

Retailers will need to adapt to the new ‘grey market’, a market often ignored in the

past. It is likely that we see new formats and stores evolve specifically catering for

older consumers. Older shoppers tend to favour smaller shops and independent

retailers which are original, and provide quality products and strong customer service.

They will tend to favour towns with good accessibility, which are not congested, and

have an attractive environment where the retail experience is combined with good

eating and drinking leisure facilities. Retailers will need to satisfy wants rather than

needs.

The growth of ‘silver surfers’ on the internet is another important consideration, as

these shoppers move away from traditional mail order/catalogue businesses. As we

age mobility problems may make shopping more difficult and certain retailers have

cited ‘silver surfers’ as the fastest growing sector of internet users, with them now

making up a large proportion of online customer bases.

Specifically for NPT: the national trends are evident within NPT. The proportion of the

County’s population who are of working age is projected to decline over the LDP

period, as is average household sizes. On top of this, only 69% of the working age

population are economically active which is below the Welsh average of 73%. The

County also suffers from low levels of economic growth, particularly in the Valley areas



which also experience lower than average levels of car ownership. In combination,

these factors serve to limit disposable income and the ability to access goods and

services. However, despite this general backdrop, The Retail Group’s July 2012 Neath

town centre report indicates a positive profile of the customer base for Neath town

centre, including spend patterns and available expenditure; a positive overall picture

which is helping to support the current Neath town centre regeneration scheme.

Mobility

3.31 Retail expenditure over the past 60 years has been significantly affected by

improvements to public transport links and the rise in car ownership. The latter in

particular, means greater distances can be travelled more easily and quickly, giving

consumers better choice and the ability to purchase larger volumes of goods per trip

than would be possible on public transport. Sixty years ago, more than 85% of UK

households were without a car; today it is only a quarter.

3.32 Currently, approximately 45% of households own one car, 24% have two cars and 6%

have three or more cars. The growing numbers of multiple car households, as well as the

general rise in car ownership, has greatly improved shopper mobility. This has

fundamentally altered shopping patterns.

3.33 Convenience shopping is no longer about walking to the local shops; it is typically

undertaken by car at big supermarkets (bulk trips) and for comparison shopping, people

are prepared to travel to visit bigger centres or retail parks. These trends have

increasingly favoured the larger, more distant, towns over the smaller nearby towns and

out-of-town locations, with plentiful free parking, over town centres, with more

constrained and costly parking, reinforcing the polarisation within the retail market.

3.34 The outlook

The Department for Transport predicts that the proportion of households in the UK

which do not own a car will continue to fall at a slow and steady rate to around 20%

in 2041. There will be marginal growth in levels of car ownership until c.2036 when it

appears that saturation of the market may occur.

Mobility should be a less significant trend for the future as the same growth rate will

not be experienced as in the past. Nevertheless, use of the car will remain crucial for

shopping and towns that try to deter car usage will suffer. Car borne shopping is



intrinsic now and policies to reduce car traffic to town centre schemes will be

detrimental to town centre schemes that are in competition with easily accessible

out-of-centre locations with ample free parking.

Town centres that have an attractive shopping environment, with a good range of

shops, and are accessible, with convenient inexpensive car parking, will prove

successful.

Specifically for NPT: a number of spatial areas within NPT suffer from lower levels of car

ownership than the national and County Borough averages. In these areas,

maintaining public transport provision will be key if the town centres are to remain

accessible. Decreases in funding on public transport will clearly have a further

detrimental impact which may require more localised retail provision to be

considered outside the main towns. Going forward, it is clear that the main towns will

need to ensure that they are accessible by alternative forms of transport (bus / train /

cycle) as well as providing convenient inexpensive car parking.

Conclusions

Town centres have suffered from the severe recession with falling rental values and

higher vacancies and they will suffer from its aftermath. Government spending cuts

and tax increases to reduce the annual budget deficit and high level of debt, will

have a lasting effect on employment, income and consumer spending in towns

where there is currently a high level of public sector employment. Personal levels of

debt, which remain high, will gradually reduce and this will further affect retail

spending growth.

Retailers will also be affected by continuing strong price competition, intensified by

the effect from internet based spending. They will look to reduce costs and will

demand modern shops that meet their size and layout requirements. All these factors

potentially threaten some centres, particularly smaller town centres, and will require

town centres to be more proactively managed and maintained.

Town centre retail turnover will be under pressure for many years to come and this will

affect rental and capital value growth and hence the viability of new development.

This will threaten some large town centre schemes which are dependant on

expensive land assembly, high front-end infrastructure costs, complex design, high



development costs, lengthy development timescales and the need for pre-letting to

major space users.

For some town centres, lower growth in expenditure, changing shopping habits and

the concentration of shopping in the larger centres may mean that no new

development will be viable or that a contraction in the size of the town centre may

be required.

Recognition that some of these trends may be permanent and not just temporary

‘blips’ is important as where the decline of a centre is already underway, the solution

may lie in the form of a managed decline with conversion or redevelopment to other

uses. It might be that some high streets/towns will never go back to being major ‘retail

destinations’. This does not mean they have no future, they simply need to determine

a different role/new focus for themselves going forward.

The appeal of out-of-centre development (foodstores and retail parks) will increase

relative to town centre development as development costs will be lower, rental and

capital values will show stronger growth and the accommodation of large space

users will be easier than in constrained town centre sites. Local authorities will have to

be increasingly vigilant about the amount, composition and scale of out of centre

development, and be much more proactive over their town centres.

Local authorities need to be wary of the trends mentioned in this section such as

mobility, accessibility and car parking, the sameness of many town centres, lower

expenditure growth and the threat from the internet, the ageing of the population

and how this will affect shopping and leisure activities in town centres. The multitude

of land ownerships in most town centres makes effective action difficult but not

impossible. Even the most proactive authorities may struggle to reverse the effect of

some of these trends. Their aspirations have to be realistic, soundly based, and

supported by a clear understanding of how new investment will be delivered in this

more challenging economic climate.

In Neath Port Talbot, the main towns are faced with all the issues identified above.

The economic climate together with the growth in online trade, development viability,

and socio-economic changes present the Council with a series of challenges going

forward over the plan period. The main centres must remain accessible to those using

public transport as well as cars, and improve their offer to encourage people who

currently travel outside the County Borough for their shopping needs to remain local –

this is particularly the case as the cost of car travel continue to rise. If the town centres



can deliver a pleasant environment, good public transport links and inexpensive car

parking, they could do well. These aspects are clearly a focus for Neath, in light of

recent initiatives recorded as good practice by WG research and also the current

retail led regeneration scheme which is discussed later in this report.



4. Town Centre Assessment

Introduction

4.1 The purpose of this section is to provide an assessment of the current state of retailing

within Neath Port Talbot and its relationship to surrounding areas, by providing a health

check of the main town centres, including an overview of out-of-centre provision.

Section 10 of PPW advises that development plans should establish the hierarchy of

existing centres, including the identification of changing pressures and opportunities.

TAN4 advises that information on the retail industry in a local planning authority's area

together with information on the functioning of their town centres will assist the

preparation of development plans.

4.2 Measurement of the vitality and viability of town centre health is achieved through a

basket of tried and tested indicators. The information gathered for town centres is useful

not only to inform the review of allocations and policies, but also for assessing the likely

impact of retail development proposals. In line with the project brief agreed with

NPTCBC, the health of the three principal town centres in NPT has been measured. The

indicators (where data is available) which have been reviewed for each of these

centres are:

turnover in relation to floorspace: turnover figures vary greatly and can be of

assistance as an indication of the relative activity of different shopping areas and

centres. Given its relationship with the quantitative assessment of need, a review of

this indicator is contained in Section 5 of this report;

commercial yield on non-domestic property: (i.e. the capital value in relation to the

expected market rental) may be of assistance in demonstrating the confidence of

investors in the long-term profitability of the centre;

shopping rents: pattern of movement in primary shopping area rents (i.e. the frontage

which attracts the highest rental value);

retailer representation: present representation and demand from retailers wanting to

come into the town, or to change their representation in the town, or to contract or

close their representation;



the diversity of uses: how much space is in use for different functions, such as: offices;

shopping; other commercial; cultural and entertainment activities; restaurants; hotels;

educational uses; housing, and how that balance has been changing;

accessibility: the ease and convenience of access by a choice of means of travel,

including the quality, quantity and type of car parking, the availability of public

transport services and the quality of provision for pedestrians and cyclists;

pedestrian flow: detailed counts have not been undertaken as part of the study, but

observations were made during the retail centre surveys (undertaken in July 2012) on

the levels of pedestrian activity within the respective centres;

the proportion of vacant street level property: vacancies can arise even in the

strongest town centres, and this indicator must be used with care;

customer views: regular surveys of customer views will assist authorities in monitoring

and evaluating the effectiveness of town centre improvements and of town centre

management;

environmental quality: this should include information on air quality, noise, trees,

landscaping, open spaces, litter and graffiti;

perception of safety/occurrence of crime: this should include information on safety

and security.

4.3 Information on the indicators of town centre health listed above has been gathered

from a number of sources including NPTCBC, EBS, the Valuation Office, and the Focus

Database. This information has been supplemented by site visits to each of the town

centres by GVA during July and August 2012. The results of the Neath Port Talbot

Shopping Survey, conducted by RMG in June 2012, and comprising household interview

surveys, also offer an important contribution to the assessment of town centre health.

Parts of these surveys have been specifically designed to elicit qualitative aspects of

retail provision, including:

which centres are considered main shopping centres;

perceived positive and negative attributes of each town centre; and

potential improvements which would encourage people to visit the town centres

more often.



4.4 The indicators used to assess the health and relative performance of the three principal

centres reflect those established by TAN 4. It should be noted, however, that data (raw

or comparable) is not readily available on a number of the indictors, particularly for retail

rents and commercial yields.

4.5 As part of its LDP preparation work, NPTCBC has gathered together a significant level of

information on its town centres. This was used to inform the LDP Retail Topic Paper

published in September 2011. GVA has used the Topic Paper as the basis for the

assessment of the health and vitality of each centre (given it is a relatively recent

publication), and this information has been supplemented by the Council’s own GIS

records on town centre uses and occupiers to provide a robust baseline position.

The Sub-Regional Retail Hierarchy

The Existing Position

4.6 The settlement pattern within Neath Port Talbot reflects its topography with the primary

settlements being located in the lower-lying areas close to the coast, with smaller

established settlements in the northern valleys areas of the County Borough. Within the

Wales Spatial Plan (WSP), the NPTCBC area forms part of the Swansea Bay – Waterfront

and Western Valleys spatial area. Each of the primary settlements within the County

Borough is identified as a key settlement providing an important service and

employment function to their hinterlands. The centres of Port Talbot, Neath and

Pontardawe are part of a network of strong, sustainable communities that the WSP views

as having more affordable and attractive housing, a better range of local services and a

variety of retail and leisure facilities. Outside the primary settlements, a number of the

smaller settlements within NPTCBC are identified as supporting communities to the

primary centres. These include the Dulais Valley, Glynneath / Resolven, the Upper Afan

Valley and Ystalyfera / Ystradgynlais.

4.7 The settlement hierarchy identified in the adopted UDP comprises three tiers – Town

Centres, District Centres and Local and Village Centres. Neath, Port Talbot and

Pontardawe are defined as Town Centres, with Glynneath, Skewen, Taibach, Briton Ferry,

Gwaun Cae Gurwen, Cwmafan, Ystalyfera, Baglan Moors, Margam and Fairfield

(Sandfields) falling into the District Centre category. The third tier centres are defined as



small groupings usually comprising a newsagent, general store/post office, hairdresser

and other small shops of a local nature.

4.8 The settlement hierarchy that will be included within the LDP is currently under review as

the Deposit Plan preparation continues. At the time this retail study was prepared, the

hierarchy was as follows:



Town Centres Neath

Port Talbot

Pontardawe

District Centres Briton Ferry

Skewen

Taibach

Glynneath

Local Centres Margam

Fairway, Sandfields

Heol Jiwbill, Cwmafan

Pentwyn, Baglan

Lodge Drive, Baglan

Resolven

Gwaun Cae Gurwen

Crynant

Commercial Street / Arnold Close, Ystalyfera

Croeserw

4.9 At all policy levels, it is recognised that all centres, irrespective of their position on the

hierarchy, have an important role to play as service and shopping centres for their wider

hinterlands. In addition to retail, town centres provide business and employment

opportunities, health services, housing, educational opportunities, public transport,

leisure and entertainment facilities, tourism attractions and a diversity of other uses which

contribute to vitality and viability. In some cases, this is coupled with a tourism role within

the County economy. It is therefore important that the overall complementary nature of

the hierarchy is maintained.

Regional Retail Rankings



4.10 Looking wider than the County area, Table 4.1 below compares the main towns in Neath

Port Talbot with other regional and sub-regional centres based on their ranking from the

VenueScore index.

4.11 Published by Javelin Group, VenueScore provides an up-to-date ranking of UK shopping

centres based on a ‘basket’ of key retail indicators (e.g. scale, market positioning,

fashionability and age positioning of the retail offer). The ranking is derived by attaching

a score to each operator present in the town centre and this is weighted to reflect the

overall impact on shopping patterns. It should be noted that as the focus is on multiple

retailers, towns with high levels of independent traders may not rank that highly. Centres

within Neath Port Talbot are shown in bold text, and those that have experienced a fall

in overall rankings between 2005 and 2011 are highlighted.

4.12 The table gives the score of each centre in 2011 and shows how its overall ranking

(against all centres in the UK that had a VenueScore of 10 or above) has changed

between 2005 and 2011. VenueScore’s rankings are based on the quality of the retail

offer, and those centres with high levels of multiple retailer representation generally score

well. This is likely to be the reason for many of the County’s centres not featuring in the

index.

4.13 In terms of regional retail performance, Cardiff dominates the retail hierarchy as the only

retail centre in Wales to be ranked within the UK’s top 10 retail destinations. Since 2006,

the City’s score has increased by 140 points and it is now ranked 10th in the UK (a

considerable improvement on its previous rank of 18th). This improvement in

performance is likely to be a direct reflection of the opening of St. David’s 2 in October

2009. However, over the same period the only other major centres to see their ranking

improve were Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil. Swansea, Neath and Llanelli all saw their

rankings slip (to 75th, 317th and 343rd respectively in overall terms) falling by 6, 59 and 106

places respectively. The retail parks also saw a number fall down the rankings, whilst

some entered the rankings for the first time (e.g. Cyfarthfa Retail Park, Morfa Stadium

Park, Parc Pemberton and Baglan Moors Retail Park). Parc Trostre at Llanelli experienced

a 965 place increase in its rank over the same period as its offer was significantly

changed as its previous bulky goods tenants moved to Parc Pemberton (and were

replace by high street multiples). This significant increase may have also contributed to

a number of established retail parks in Swansea seeing their rank fall (e.g. Parc

Fforestfach by 113 places, Swansea Enterprise Park by 270 places, and Parc Tawe by 272

places).

4.14 Looking to the future, Swansea City Council have prepared a City Centre Strategic

Framework, which includes inter alia a proposal to provide a significant retail-led mixed

use development on the site of the former St Davids Shopping Centre (adjacent to the

Quadrant Shopping Centre). The scheme is proposed to include a large anchor store

and extend to 35,000sq m. Delivery of the scheme would require the relocation of the

existing Tesco supermarket. The City Council is working with the Welsh Government and

Hammerson to deliver this scheme and, to date, the St Davids centre has been

demolished.

4.15 Changes in a centre’s VenueScore ranking is not only dependent on how that centre

itself is performing, but is also attributable to other centres in the UK improving their offer



and moving up the rankings. Despite Skewen and Baglan Moors Retail Park securing a

place in the ranking in 2011, Pontardawe, Neath and Port Talbot all experienced a fall in

their overall rank between 2005 and 2011. However, if the actual score attributed to

those centres is considered, then the picture is slightly different. This is shown in Table 4.2

below.

Table 4.2: VenueScore of NPT Centres

Tier/Centre VenueScore (UK) Overall

Change over time 2005 2007 2009 2011

Baglan Moors Retail Park - - - 19 NEW

Skewen - - - 14 NEW

Pontardawe 11 18 - 13 +2

Source: VenueScore

4.16 As the table demonstrates, the actual score achieved by each of the centres has seen a

marginal improvement (less than 10 points in all cases) between 2005 and 2011, with the

greatest improvements experienced by Port Talbot, Skewen and Baglan Moors Retail

Park. Despite the improved scores, however, Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe all saw

a fall in the overall rank over the same period. This suggests that these centres are not

keeping pace with the improvements being made by other competing centres within

the wider region. Notwithstanding this, an improvement in their overall score during a

turbulent economic period has to be viewed positively.

Retailer Requirements

4.17 As part of the assessment of retail composition, a survey of the existing market

requirements for representation in Neath Port Talbot was undertaken. The exercise

sought to quantify the level and type of current market interest by town centre

occupiers (retail / leisure / food and drink) for new or additional floorspace provision

within each of the main town centres. This was undertaken through an extensive review

of requirements registered on commercial requirement databases (Focus, EGi Property

Link, UK Retail Property Market, etc.) and the main headlines are summarised below.



4.18 The search exercise identified a number of current retailer requirements for

representation within Neath and Port Talbot, and these are listed in the table below.

4.19 The above requirements list includes a number that are listed on commercial property

websites with requirements throughout the UK – this is evidenced by the appearance of

the same operators on both lists. This type of requirement needs to be treated with

caution as it does not necessarily convey a desire for representation within a specific

town. In light of this, the requirements listed above comprise those where the towns in

question were specifically identified as targets for the retailers concerned.

4.20 Further analysis identified that current centre specific requirements exist for both Neath

and Port Talbot. These include:

Bensons for Beds: 3000 – 5000 sq.ft. in prime out-of-town locations (Neath / Port

Talbot / Pontardawe);

BrightHouse: 2250 – 3500 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (Neath);

Bargain Book Time: 800 - 3000 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (Port Talbot);

Calendar Club: 600 – 1500 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (seasonal requirement)

(Port Talbot);

Everything Everywhere Ltd: 700 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (Port Talbot);

Savers Health & Beauty: 1750 - 2500 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (Port Talbot);

Tesco Stores Ltd: 3000 – 15000 sq.ft. in prime, in-town locations (Neath / Port Talbot).

4.21 The above illustrates that the current requirements for NPTCBC may be more limited than

is suggested by some commercial databases. However, if any need for further retail



provision is identified within NPTCBC, these requirements will be useful to gauge if that is

likely to be taken up. Further dialogue will, however, need to be undertaken with the

relevant agents to confirm whether the requirements remain live.

4.22 As part of its on-going regeneration strategy for Neath town centre, in 2012 the Council

commissioned The Retail Group to define the current offer of the centre and identify

appropriate occupiers for the future. The study identified 61 target operators for the

town centre to improve its retail offer and strength going forward. However, very few of

these target retailers currently have requirements lodged with the main property

databases. This indicates that further demand from retailers can be generated for towns

such as Neath and the key to translating this potential into real demand is to inform the

retail sector about the development opportunities available and how new floorspace

can be delivered.

Town Centre Analysis

4.23 Two key indicators of town centre health provided within the ‘basket’ presented in TAN4

relate to the range of uses and the level of vacant units.

4.24 The diversity of uses within town centres provides an important indication of the overall

function of those centres and the type of retail experience offered. The level of non-

retail uses within a centre can highlight a declining retail function which in turn can

reduce a centre’s overall vitality and viability. Coupled with this measure, the proportion

of vacant properties at ground floor level within centres can also provide an important

signal of a centre’s overall strength and performance. However, vacancies can arise for

a range of underlying reasons and occur in even the strongest town centres, so this

indicator must be interpreted carefully.

4.25 The proportions of centres given over to different uses, including vacancy, are

considered for the three principal town centres within the County Borough in this section.

This approach allows comparative analysis of the towns to be undertaken providing a

robust basis to identify any prevailing patterns that may emerge. It also allows for those

towns faced with similar issues and performing similar functions to be identified.

Town Centre Composition



4.26 The three principal town centres serving the NPTCBC are located within the urban areas

of Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe. The centres perform an important role for the

wider community by offering a range of goods and services including retail, leisure and

employment opportunities, and attracting people both from their immediate hinterlands

and from further afield in the neighbouring Valley areas.

4.27 Increasingly, the centres are facing competition from Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend and

Llanelli, and also (and potentially to a greater extent) from out of town retail centres,

including retail parks at Llansamlet, Fforestfach, Morfa, Trostre (and the adjacent Parc

Pemberton) and the MacArthur Glen Designer Outlet in Bridgend. This is in addition to

the growing trend for internet and catalogue shopping that was touched upon in

Section 2 of this report. This trend for expenditure on comparison and bulky goods to be

lost from Neath Port Talbot to the surrounding centres and retail parks was identified in

the 2006 King Sturge study, and appears to be a trend that is continuing. Full analysis of

current levels of expenditure leakage is provided later in this report.

4.28 In its retail topic paper for the emerging LDP, it was recognised by the Council that whilst

the three principal town centres have fared fairly well during the economic recession,

further investment is needed to increase their vibrancy enabling them to meet their

potential and attract further inward investment in the future. Particularly, there was

recognition that the lack of an evening economy was reducing the overall vitality and

vibrancy of these centres.

Neath

4.29 Neath town centre serves the wider Neath area as well as the Neath, Dulais and to some

extent the Swansea Valley. As a town centre, Neath has an historic indoor market,

comprising small shop units that attract specialist retailers that provide diversification to

the town centre. The town centre as a whole provides a relatively large number and

wide range of shops and service uses for the local community, but also caters for

entertainment and cultural events through the Gwyn Hall (which encompasses a café,

gallery, cinema, theatre and dance studio). This has been redeveloped in the last few

years to provide an important leisure facility both for the residents of Neath and those

within the wider sub-regional area.

4.30 The town centre is located in the south-western part of the County Borough and is the

largest of the three principal town centres. In total, the town centre itself comprises 259



units, the majority of which are in retail use. A full breakdown of these uses is provided

later in this section of the report. The centre is organised around the primary shopping

streets of Green Street, Wind Street, Water Street, Angel Street and New Street. The

primary frontage is focused on Green Street, Wind Street, Water Street, New Street and

Angel Street. Green Street and Wind Street run in an east-west direction and provide the

core of the town centre with the vast majority of the units in these areas being A1 retail.

Outside of this there are concentrations of A3 food and drink units along The Parade,

interspersed with A2 service units. The Morrisons superstore, on the northern edge of the

town centre, acts as the principle convenience goods destination. Although outside the

town centre boundary in the UDP, the store is linked to the primary retail core via Angel

Street and we consider the relationship of Morrisons to the town centre later in this report.

As you move away from the core primary shopping streets, the mix becomes more

varied, for example, along Windsor Road there is an equal mixture of A1, A2 and A3

units, and a similar situation arises along Old Market Street and New Street.

4.31 In terms of occupiers, Neath town centre benefits from a number of recognised key

attractors from the multiple retailer sector, along with high street banks and financial

institutions. HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Halifax, Barclays, and Abbey National are all represented

within the centre. Whilst the centre comprises a high level of independent traders, it also

benefits from a number of key multiple retailers including Marks and Spencers, Spec

Savers, New Look, Next, H Samuel, WHSmiths, Boots, Sports Direct, and Argos. Data

collected by NPTCBC over time shows that these are well-established within the centre.

It is clear, that during the economic downturn a number of retailers have been lost to

Neath Town Centre, these include Evans, Game and Woolworths. It is also apparent that

new retailers have been attracted to the centre, with a new Bon Marche outlet opening

within the last year.

4.32 Vacant units are distributed throughout the centre (vacant units are found on Green

Street, Orchard Street, New Street, Old Market Street, Water Street and Queen Street).

However, and importantly, the vacant units generally occur as individual units, therefore

giving the town centre a low level of vacancy overall, and a vibrant feel as there are no

clusters of vacant units located in the particular parts of the centre. From analysis over

time it is clear that between 2001 and 2012 there are some small areas of the town

centre which have suffered from continuous vacancies (these include Angel Place,

Charlesville Place, Croft Road and Queen Street Back Road). Within the remainder of



the town centre, vacant units appear to be fairly sporadic, well spaced out and in the

majority of cases tend to be reoccupied over time.

4.33 Further detailed information regarding the customer base and catchment profile of

Neath town centre can be found in the July 2012 Neath town centre strategy report

prepared for the Council by The Retail Group.

Port Talbot

4.34 The Town Centre takes a linear form, running north-south. The primary shopping streets

include Upper Station Road, Forge Road and the Aberafan Shopping Centre, and the

majority of uses in these areas are in A1 retail use. The Aberafan Centre is an indoor

shopping area and Upper Station Road is mainly pedestrianised. The mix of uses

becomes more varied in the Lower Station Road area, where A2 and A3 uses dominate.

4.35 In overall terms, there is very little vacancy within Port Talbot Town Centre and these are

located in isolated single units rather than clusters.

4.36 Food shopping within the town centre is provided by the Tesco store, which lies at the

northern end of Upper Station Road and is accessed from Prior Street. Further food retail

is provided by the Morrisons superstore at the Baglan Moors Retail Park which is located

outside the defined town centre.

4.37 Within Port Talbot the retail offer is influenced by a number of discount retailers ,

including outlets for Home Bargains, B&M Bargains, Wilkinsons and Poundland.

Representation by other multiple retailers is limited within the town centre, with those

present including Argos, New Look, Boots, Car Phone Warehouse, Holland & Barratt and

Greggs. There are a number of financial institutions represented within the town centre,

including The Principality, HSBC, NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds TSB, and Halifax.

4.38 Funding has been secured to support the redevelopment of Port Talbot Parkway Station

to try and encourage more sustainable modes of travel through the creation of a

transport interchange. This should also increase footfall to the southern end of Station

Road, acting as a catalyst for an improved retail offer over time. A number of public

realm and environmental improvements are also proposed throughout the town centre.

Additionally, Glanafan School is proposed for closure within the Strategic School’s

Improvement Programme, and this is likely to occur over the course of the LDP period.



The Council has identified potential for the site in part to be redeveloped for 50

residential units and we also consider later in this report the potential for this site to

accommodate retail uses.

Pontardawe

4.39 Pontardawe is the smallest of the three main town centres within NPT with 81 units. It acts

as the main service centre for the Swansea Valley and its surrounding area in terms of

shopping, leisure, entertainment business and employment. The town centre offer is

located primarily along Herbert Street and there is a relatively even distribution of use

classes throughout the defined town centre area.

4.40 The town centre is linear in form, comprising Herbert Street running east - west to its

junction with High Street (running in a north-easterly direction) and James Street. There is

no differentiation between primary and secondary shopping areas in Pontardawe and

this is a reflection of the size of the centre. Notwithstanding its limited town centre offer,

the retail offer in Pontardawe is strengthened and complemented by Ynysderw Retail

Park. This retail park lies outside of the town centre and current occupiers include Lidl,

Farmfoods, Poundstretcher Extra, Argos Extra, and Home Bargains. Planning permission

was granted to extend the retail park but was never implemented, and has now lapsed.

Further away from the town centre, is the Pontardawe Tesco store which occupies an

out-of-centre site accessed from the A4067.

4.41 Pontardawe includes a number of service outlets including high street banks (Lloyds TSB

and Barclays). There is limited representation by multiple retailers in Pontardawe, with

these being focused on the pharmacy and food store sector (Co-Op and Lloyds

Pharmacy). It is also evident that over the last 10 years there have been a number of

long standing vacancies within Pontardawe.

Diversity of Uses & Vacancy Rates

4.42 Information on the diversity of uses within the town centre boundaries has been

obtained from the town centre survey work undertaken by NPTCBC in 2011/12. This

includes data to illustrate the diversity and distribution of uses within the three centres.



4.43 The retail composition of Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe, in terms of the land use mix

of the ground floor units in each of the three centres, is set out in Table 4.4 below. As the

table shows, Neath and Port Talbot are considerably larger than Pontardawe.

Table 4.4: Diversity of Ground Floor Uses (2012)

Vacant 19 7.3% 8 4.3% 3 3.7%

TOTAL 259 100% 187 100% 81 100% Source: NPTCBC

4.44 The table shows that the 3 centres have similar proportions of A2 uses (albeit slightly

higher in Pontardawe). Port Talbot contains the highest proportion of A1 retail units, and

the lowest proportion of A3 units, with the situation being reversed for Pontardawe.

Service and sui generis uses are low across the three centres. Since 2001, the number of

A1 retail units in Neath and Pontardawe has declined as the proportion of service (A2

and A3) uses within these centres has increased. In Port Talbot, it is noticeable that the

number of A1 units within the centre has been relatively constant over the last 11 years.

4.45 The proportions of ground floor A class units within each of the retail types are shown in

Table 4.5 below. This also provides the UK averages for these retail types for comparative

purposes.

*GB averages provided by Experian GOAD

4.46 In terms of comparison goods outlets, both Neath and Port Talbot have a proportion

which is higher than the national average. This suggests the towns have a definitive

‘shopping’ function and may therefore benefit from an increase in service based uses,

particularly in the food and drink sectors which could expand the evening economy.

Pontardawe however is more in line with the UK average for comparison goods units

within a centre. It is clear that Pontardawe has an over-representation of service uses

which suggests that the retail function of the centre is diminishing. In relation to

convenience goods retailers, Port Talbot and Pontardawe have a proportion of retailers

which is similar to the national average, although Neath has only 3% of retailers selling

convenience goods. There is no single explanation for this situation, although an

influence is likely to be the dominance of out of centre provision within the town.

4.47 On a positive note, all three centres have vacancy rates that are below the national

average (of 13.6%). Over the last 11 years, vacancy rates within the centres have

fluctuated with Neath and Port Talbot experiencing their lowest rates in 2004, and

Pontardawe’s vacancy rate is currently at its lowest level for the last 11 years (with many

former vacancies now returning to retail or service use).

4.48 Importantly, all three town centres have experienced a decline in vacancy rates since

2011 which must be viewed positively as the last 5 years have seen vacancies at their

highest levels across the three centres. Additionally, it is also relevant to note that the

low vacancy levels are well-distributed throughout each centre as clusters of vacant

units can have a significant effect on confidence in a centre and its vitality and viability.

Retail Park Provision

4.49 In terms of out-of-centre / out-of-town retail provision, all three centres are served by

retail parks, although it is Pontardawe that has (proportional to the size of the town) the

most extensive offer. The retail park occupiers and land use mix are not included in the

data above as all are located outside the defined town centre boundaries. However,



the presence of these retail warehouse stores will contribute to the relative attractiveness

and function of the centres in question.

4.50 Out-of-centre provision1 for each of these centres is set out in Table 4.7 below.

4.51 Neath’s town centre offer is complemented by the edge-of-centre2 B&Q and Morrisons

stores and the relative close proximity of the Vale of Neath Retail Park. The existing retail

park at Baglan Moors is currently the closest to Port Talbot town centre, although it has

no connection with the town centre itself. As highlighted in the table above, Neath and

1 Defined in relation to the current UDP proposals map 2 As defined by the current UDP proposals map



Port Talbot have a relatively limited out-of-centre bulky comparison goods offer and

careful consideration will need to be given as to what approach is followed to address

this, and whether there are edge-of-centre sites potentially available for redevelopment

that could improve the bulky goods offer whilst also boosting the vitality and viability of

the relevant town centre. This is discussed later in this report, when potential

development sites are assessed.

Commercial Yields

4.52 As a measure of retail vitality, commercial yields on retail floorspace are a valuable

indictor, but one that needs to be used with care. The level of yield on its own is of less

value than in comparison with other yields at different points in time and in different

locations. Yields measured consistently over time can give an indication of the direction

in which a particular town centre is moving. This trend can be compared with national

levels of yield and with those towns of a similar size and type, or with neighbouring and

competing towns. In short, the lower the yield the better the performance of the centre,

as it signifies a higher investor confidence in the centre. A comparative analysis of this

type, conducted on a regular basis, can give an indication of how the viability of

retailing in a town centre is changing. Table 4.8 below outlines the yields for Port Talbot

and Neath between 2002 and 2008, and towns within the wider region.

4.53 It should be noted that after 2008, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) stopped

publishing data on property yields, but after that time it is reasonable to assume that all

centres experienced a fall in yield levels. Up until 2008, however, Neath was performing

strongly with improving yields up to 2007 to a level that suggested investor confidence in

the centre beyond that which was found in similar centres such as Bridgend and Llanelli.

Over the same period, yields in Port Talbot saw a minor improvement but overall

remained fairly constant.

Rental Levels

4.54 The evidence on retail Zone A3 rental values within Neath and Port Talbot has been

sourced from Focus and EGi (who utilise evidence published by Colliers CRE). In light of

the size of Pontardawe, there is no published data available on prevailing rental levels.

The table below shows the rental levels in Neath and Port Talbot over the last 10 years

and includes similar data for other centres within the wider region for comparative

purposes.

Table 4.9: Zone A Retail Values (£psf), 2001-2011

4.55 As the table illustrates, all centres experienced an increase in Zone A Rental levels

leading up to 2008. Post-2008, the impact of the recession can clearly be seen as rental

levels dropped back to their 2001 levels. It is evident, however, that the fall in levels has

been greater in some centres than others, for example, levels in Cardiff, Port Talbot,

Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil were higher (albeit marginally) than 2001 levels, whereas in

3 Zone A areas are the first 20 feet of retail space from the shop front into the shop floor



Neath, Swansea, Bridgend and Llanelli, 2011 rental levels were below what they were in

2001. The table also shows how the centres have performed relative to each other over

time, as it can be seen that the gap between Bridgend and Neath has remained fairly

constant, Port Talbot now commands higher Zone A rental levels than Llanelli which

wasn’t the case in 2001 (this is in part likely to be attributable to the growth of out-of-

centre retailing in Llanelli). However, the table also shows that despite falling rental

levels, Cardiff and Swansea still command considerably higher retail rents than the main

towns in Neath Port Talbot County Borough. Swansea’s rents remain at least twice the

level of the main towns in the Borough and, due to its proximity, may well influence the

choice of potential investors in terms of where to place their money.

Town Centre Strategies

4.56 A number of regeneration strategies have been prepared for town centres within the

study area by NPTCBC. These include strategies for Pontardawe, Port Talbot Waterfront,

the Upper Neath Valley, Neath Town Centre and the Milland Road/Canal Green area of

Neath. In addition to these documents, Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) has

been prepared for the Central Area of Port Talbot, and an Investment Action Plan has

been published for Glynneath. As context to the study and the potential for additional

retail floorspace, each of these strategies is summarised below. The site specific aspects

of the strategies are considered in more detail in the site assessments presented later in

the report.

4.57 The strategy prepared for Neath Town Centre was launched in 2008 and proposed a

number of improvements to the centre. These included an additional 20,500 sq.m. of

retail floorspace, accompanied by leisure uses, and a new museum and library. In

addition to new floorspace, the strategy also included a number of measures for the

pedestrian environment, a new multi-deck car park, affordable housing and an area to

function as a public square with cafes, seating and landscaping. Grant funding (of

£100,000) has also been made available by the WG for improvements to and around the

existing railway station. The strategy to regenerate Neath town centre continues to be

driven by NPTCBC’s regeneration department and a retail-led mixed use redevelopment

scheme for land bounded by Wind Street, Prince of Wales Drive, Water Street and Gnoll

Park Road is being advanced, with a planning application expected to be submitted

shortly.



4.58 The Canal Green / Milland Road area lies to the north of Neath town centre beyond the

Swansea to Paddington mainline railway. It currently comprises a range of industrial,

employment and trade counter units. The site also encapsulates a large surface level

car park that lies adjacent to the railway and links directly to the town centre via a

covered pedestrian footbridge. The area would be suited to mixed use regeneration

that would complement and contribute to the vitality and viability of the town centre,

however its location and the relatively poor linkages suggest that uses which would

detract from the town centre’s primary retail core should be avoided.

4.59 The regeneration strategy for the Canal Green / Milland Road area of Neath was

adopted in September 2010. The preferred concept for the area is based around a

mixed use development split into three zones:

the southern area of the site contains several employment uses, served by existing

infrastructure, that will remain in the medium to long term;

the central element of the site would build on the existing mix of uses but create

stronger relationships with the canal and river. Green corridors would be created

to reinforce linkage between the river frontage, the commercial elements of the

site and the town centre;

the northern element of the site will incorporate strong links and use of the water

frontages with canal crossings and pedestrian routes linking the existing footbridge

with the site, river and town centre.

4.60 The mix of uses envisaged for the area was non-prescriptive to accommodate market

forces and need at any time but the strategy suggested elements of retail, residential,

offices, trade counter and potentially educational / healthcare. The area proposed for

regeneration will not be safeguarded for employment uses, although other parts of

Milland Road will be safeguarded alongside existing units at Melincryddan.

4.61 With regards to Port Talbot, the Central Area SPG was adopted in April 2011. This

identifies an area of land within the Docklands for bulky goods retail – this site is the

closest part of the regeneration area to the existing town centre. The Waterfront

Strategy for Port Talbot was adopted in January 2011, and seeks to “develop the town of

Port Talbot as a hub for commercial, residential, social and employment activities to an

integrated physical regeneration of the town centre and the attraction of new

investment”. This objective comprises a series of actions including improvements to the



public realm, grant assistance for commercial property improvements, redevelopment

of under utilised town centre sites, and improvements to town centre facilities,

accessibility and connectivity.

4.62 The regeneration strategy prepared for Pontardawe stemmed from the Community

Investment Plan for the town published in January 2009. This set growth ambitions for the

town as a hub for the Swansea Valley serving the needs of its hinterland in social and

economic terms (in line with the objectives for the WSP). The masterplan for the area

was issued in November 2009 and set the following objectives for the town centre: public

realm improvements; the promotion of the town as an attractive and convenient place

to live and visit; the development of brownfield land, the establishment of cultural

events, and tackling issues of accessibility and movement. The strategy seeks to redefine

the town’s identity and offer to attract outside visitors, whilst ensuring a strong basis for

local employment exists.

4.63 Outside of the 3 principal town centres, the Upper Neath Valley Regeneration Strategy

(adopted July 2011) includes Glynneath, Resolven and their surrounding areas. The

focus was on the creation of local employment opportunities and the development of

quality services to service the prosperity, health and well-being of these communities.

Four key projects were identified as part of the strategy: Glynneath Business Park; the

Vale of Neath Business Park; Land to the rear of Park Avenue (off the A465); and Rheola.

4.64 Of these, the Land to the rear of Park Avenue has been identified as an opportunity for

the development of new retail floorspace (together with residential). This has now been

identified as the key site for the Upper Neath Valley and is considered in more detail later

in this report.

Accessibility

4.65 All three centres are well-served by public transport. However, Neath and Port Talbot

benefit from their presence on the main Swansea to Paddington rail line and the

location of their stations in very close proximity to their primary retail areas. Both towns

are served by first Great Western (Swansea to Paddington) and Arriva Trains Wales

(providing regional services). Bus services are frequent to both Neath and Port Talbot,

and both have bus stations located immediately adjacent to the core shopping areas.

Pontardawe has a number of bus services linking the town with both Neath and

Swansea, with services running at least half hourly to Neath and hourly to Swansea.



4.66 Neath and Port Talbot town centres are also very well-served in terms of car parking

provision. Both town centres have multi-storey car parks (705 spaces in Port Talbot and

432 spaces in Neath), although neither are open in the evenings (there are surface level

car parks open 24 hours in both towns). Both centres also benefit from large surface

level car parks associated with the town centre superstores, which our pedestrian flow

observations found to be well-used by town centre visitors. The County Council operate

the vast majority of parking provision in Neath and Port Talbot and parking charges are

relatively low.

4.67 Car parking provision in Pontardawe is more limited, made up of on-street parking and a

relatively small surface level car park in the town centre. There is significant parking

provision at Pontardawe Retail Park, but as was noted above, pedestrian movements

between the retail park and the town centre were observed to be limited.

Town Centre Assessment: Composition, Quality & Pedestrian

Movement

4.68 This section of our analysis uses the desktop data discussed in the preceding paragraphs

as a baseline for observations made during the healthcheck visits to the three main

towns. This provides a full picture of the health and vibrancy of each of the three town

centres and identifies areas where improvements could potentially be made.

Neath

4.69 Neath town centre is the largest of the three principal centres. The primary frontage is

located along Angel Street, New Street, Green Street, Wind Street and part of Queen

Street, and the vast majority of this area has been pedestrianised. The pedestrianisation

of the centre is effective and provides a clean, pleasant shopping environment which is

evident through the high levels of pedestrian flow through the primary retail core. It is

considered that this is attributable to the retail offer throughout the primary frontage and

to the presence of destinations at the end of these streets – Morrisons (Angel Street), a

taxi rank (Wind Street at its junction with Water Street), the bus station (Queen Street /

Orchard Street), and the rail station / A3 uses (Green Street).

4.70 The centre is organised in a very traditional way with the primary retail area performing

an identifiable ‘shopping’ function surrounded by other town centre uses on its



periphery. For example, Green Street leads to The Parade where A3 uses are dominant,

and similar patterns are evident for Wind Street (leading to Old Market Street), Orchard

Street and Queen Street (both of which have small clusters of A3 uses at their southern

most points). Whilst it is acknowledged that this provides town centre users with

destinations, the centre would benefit from higher proportions of A3 uses within the retail

core, particularly those focussed on food and family-based custom. This would extend

the operating hours of the retail core which based on current uses has little in the way of

an evening economy. The pedestrianised area allows for the provision of outdoor eating

arrangements associated with cafes, coffee shops and restaurants, all of which would

contribute to the vitality and viability of the centre and the hours over which it operates.

4.71 The dominant pedestrian flows were observed along New Street, and in an east-west

direction along Green Street and Wind Street. High levels of pedestrian movement were

observed between the Morrisons superstore (and its car park) and the town centre. This

suggested that the Morrisons’ car park is used as a town centre car park. The open

nature of Angel Square not only provides ease of access to the primary retail core but

also gives a high level of visibility to the primary retail frontage thereby encouraging

pedestrian movement and linked trips.

4.72 The indoor market is well occupied and appears to be trading fairly well. There are a mix

of units within the market including food, non-food and a small number of cafes. The

market provides variation to the retail offer of the centre.

4.73 The primary frontages defined in the adopted UDP correspond largely with the

pedestrianised primary retail areas identifiable within the town centre. Consideration

should be given to whether Orchard Street would benefit from pedestrianisation to link

the existing pedestrianised areas with the newly refurbished Gwyn Hall.

4.74 The Windsor Road frontages are clearly secondary in nature. There is a clear

concentration here of A2 and A3 uses including estate agents, surveyors, takeaways, sun

bed centres and financial planners. There are also restaurants, furniture and carpet

outlets and second hand goods traders. The dominant areas of A3 usage within Neath

are in the secondary areas of the retail core, with clear concentrations along The

Parade, Old Market Street, and Windsor Road. Whilst the pedestrianised area of the

centre offers the potential for outdoor seating arrangements, the proportion of these

uses within the pedestrianised area is very low.



4.75 Along Alfred Street there are some voluntary sector occupiers, a primary care centre, a

number of estate agents and solicitors, along with A3 uses, offices and hair stylists.

4.76 Within the eastern part of the town centre, particularly on Water Street and around its

junction with Wind Street, the quality and appearance of the existing buildings is poor

compared to other areas within the centre. This area includes the existing Tesco and

Wilkinson’s stores together with the multi-storey car park above which are included within

the regeneration scheme for this part of the centre. The regeneration scheme offers the

opportunity to significantly improve this part of the town centre, providing new shops

and food & drink outlets, plus also the opportunity to create a new pedestrian circuit via

Wind Street, Water Street and Orchard Street.

4.77 Overall, Neath town centre offers an attractive shopping environment with a large,

relatively flat, pedestrianised area allowing ease of movement throughout the centre,

although the only under cover retail area is the indoor market. The centre also includes

some green spaces including Victoria Gardens. The ‘squares’ at Angel Street and the

Green Street / Wind Street / New Street junction provide focal points and encourage

movement through the centre. The ‘cross’ shape of the town provides a layout which

sets a number of key points and destinations all within an accessible distance from the

primary retail area. The centre currently functions well in its role as a ‘traditional’

shopping centre, but its performance could potentially be enhanced through the

introduction of A3 family-orientated uses within the retail core (as this would extend the

town centre’s operating hours) and also an improved ‘shopping circuit’. It was also

evident that Morrisons acts as a town centre superstore based on pedestrian movements

and the urban environment linking it to the primary shopping area – this could be

reflected in a revised town centre boundary.

Port Talbot

4.78 The Aberafan Shopping Centre provides a pleasant indoor shopping environment with a

number of recognised multiple retailers. The centre includes a two storey Wilkinson’s

store, along with a range of other high street operators including BrightHouse, Home

Bargains, Superdrug, and Shaws, with B&M Bargains being located immediately outside

the centre on the pedestrian route to the bus station. There are also a number of A3

outlets within the centre, the occasional A2 unit and the Port Talbot Library is located on

the first floor.



4.79 There is a covered linkage to the adjacent multi-storey car park to the north of the

centre and two covered pedestrian bridges linking the centre with the town centre. At

its south-eastern corner the centre links with an area of civic space outside the Princess

Royal Theatre and the bridge link to Station Road – this provides a direct connection

between the shopping centre, the Tesco superstore and the town centre’s primary

frontage on Station Road.

4.80 The linkage between the multi-storey car park, the shopping centre and the town centre

appeared to be working well with significant pedestrian movements in both directions –

this was the busiest area of the town centre at the time of the healthcheck visit. It was

also evident that pedestrians were parking in the Tesco superstore car park and visiting

the town centre and the shopping centre. One further vehicular bridge link exists at the

shopping centre’s south-west corner but there was very limited pedestrian activity in this

location. Pedestrian movements notably decreased on the southern part of Station

Road – this is likely to be partially attributable to the end of the pedestrianised area and

partly to the change in retail mix from A1 to A2/A3 in this area.

4.81 Pedestrian links between the surface car park (which is also the location of the weekly

market) are limited and visitors to the centre would not necessarily be aware of the

market’s existence whilst visiting the pedestrianised part of Station Road. The pedestrian

environment in this area is relatively poor.

4.82 The primary frontage also extends into Forge Road, which is partly pedestrianised. Forge

Road has a mix of A1, A2 and A3 units, a lot of which are independent traders including

patisseries, restaurants, insurance and financial services, hairdressers, art gallery, vets,

travel agents and clinics. More typical ‘high street’ operators are found at the Station

Road end of Forge Road and these include Marie Curie Cancer Care and the

Principality Building Society. The empty church on the southern side of the Forge Road /

Station Road junction offers potential for alternative use.

4.83 Moving along Station Road the frontage becomes more secondary in nature and the

retail composition clearly changes. There are a far greater proportion of service uses

including public houses, takeaways and estate agents along this stretch together with

high street banks including HSBC, Barclays and NatWest. Peacocks occupy a relatively

large store on this part of the road, and this would potentially be better located within

the Aberafan Shopping Centre or the primary Station Road frontage.



4.84 Overall, Port Talbot provides an attractive town centre environment, particularly within

the Aberafan Shopping Centre and the pedestrianised section of Station Road. It is

evident that Station road has been subject to public realm improvements in recent years

and these have been successful in creating an attractive public realm. However, the

secondary parts of the town centre were observed to be of a clearly different quality in

terms of the shopping environment and the retail offer.

Pontardawe

4.85 Pontardawe town centre is located predominantly along High Street and Herbert Street.

There is also a small number of town centre units at the lower end of James Street,

however at the time of our site visits it appeared that a number of these were vacant.

The town centre in itself is small, linear and comprises a mix of A1, A2 and A3 uses

interspersed with sui generis and other uses. There is no clearly identifiable area of

primary frontage.

4.86 The town centre has recently undergone significant public realm improvements and

these works have lifted the overall appearance and quality of the town centre

environment, particularly along Herbert Street and outside the Pontardawe Art Centre.

4.87 In terms of pedestrian flows, the centre was observed to be relatively quiet during our

visits with movement along Herbert Street and High Street. There was also pedestrian

usage (although not at a particularly significant level) of the public footways between

the town centre and Pontardawe Retail Park. The retail park was noticeably busier than

the town centre and based on observations made during the centre assessment, it

appears that linked trips between the retail park and the town centre are limited.

Customer Views and Behaviour

4.88 The results of the household shopping survey provide a good indication of how the three

principal centres are viewed by those people that use them. The survey sought to

identify what people liked and disliked about the towns and what improvements they

would like to see to make them visit the towns more often.

4.89 The survey results highlighted the dominance of Neath as the principal destination within

the County Borough for people’s shopping needs. However, whilst 21.6% of those

surveyed identified Neath as their primary shopping destination, 40.5% identified



Swansea. Positively, the survey results suggested that Neath and Port Talbot are the

primary destinations for many people living within their immediate survey zones (and

Neath is also the preferred destination for Zone 8 - Glynneath). The influence of Swansea

on shopping patterns across the County Borough was clear, particularly on Pontardawe

(only 29% of Zone 6 residents prefer Pontardawe town centre), and only Neath appears

able to compete with 69% of Zone 1 (Neath) residents and 63% of Zone 8 (Glynneath)

selecting Neath as their preferred shopping destination.

4.90 Of those respondents who selected Neath and Port Talbot as their preferred destinations

for shopping, large proportions visited the centres once a week or more frequently

(around 75% and 85% respectively) for their food shopping needs. In Pontardawe, whilst

the overall proportion using the town as their primary shopping destination was relatively

low, just under 80% of those that do use the centre, do so at least once a week for their

food shopping needs. For non-food shopping, however, the visits were more infrequent –

in Pontardawe, the majority of people visited once a month or less for non-food

shopping, in Port Talbot the highest proportions visiting the centres for non-food shopping

did so on a regular basis (i.e. once a week or more often), and in Neath, there was a

more even spread of responses between those visiting once a month and those visiting

once a week or more.

4.91 High levels of usage of Neath and Port Talbot were evident in the survey results for other

service uses also, although typically the frequency was lower than for shopping.

However, the situation for leisure uses was entirely different with the majority of

respondents (60% and above for all three main towns) stating that they never used their

preferred town centre for leisure / food and drink spending. Respondents were also

asked what the purpose of their last visit to their centre of choice was; shopping was the

most frequent response (68% for Neath, 73% for Port Talbot, and 87% for Pontardawe). In

terms of the goods or services people normally purchase from their preferred centre, the

most frequent responses (respondents could give more than one answer) were as

follows:

Neath – food/groceries (68%) / clothes and shoes (34%) / services (24.5%);

Port Talbot – food/groceries (64%) / clothes and shoes (24.5%) / services (24.5%);

Pontardawe - food/groceries (81%) / services (17%) / personal and luxury goods

(17%)



4.92 In the case of Neath and Port Talbot, the above results are considered to highlight the

important role the existing Morrisons and Tesco stores play in attracting people to those

centres. For Pontardawe, it is difficult to be certain whether the high proportion of use for

food and grocery shopping is the town centre being used as a local, top-up destination

or if respondents were referring to the out of centre food provision in the town as

‘Pontardawe’.

4.93 In terms of the reasons why people chose to visit their preferred centre, the reason given

in the vast majority of cases for all three centres was convenience to home. The

presence of an indoor shopping environment in Port Talbot was also a popular reason for

the people using that centre.

4.94 When respondents were asked what they disliked about their preferred centre, there was

similarity in the results.

Neath – whilst 53% had nothing to dislike about the centre, 20% felt the centre has

a poor range/choice of multiple retailers;

Port Talbot – 48% stated there was nothing they disliked, with 30% stating that the

range / choice of multiple retailers was poor;

Pontardawe – 78% had nothing to dislike about the town centre, and 13% referring

to parking difficulties.

4.95 The choice and selection of shops was also the most frequent response from people

when they were asked what would make them visit their chosen centre more often. This

was also the main improvement (more choice of multiples / larger retailers) that would

make those respondents who don’t use the three main centres as their preferred centre

to visit more often.

Conclusions

4.96 The assessment of town centre health and performance has highlighted that Neath and

Port Talbot clearly provide a far greater offer than Pontardawe, which without its retail

park offer could be classed as serving a local, district centre function.

4.97 Both Neath and Port Talbot have identifiable ‘shopping functions’ and the distribution of

uses amongst the centres reflects this (as does the proportion of comparison goods

floorspace). However, whilst Port Talbot has some daytime A3 uses within its primary

frontage, similar provision is lacking within Neath’s retail core, and in Port Talbot, it



appears unlikely that the provision within the primary frontage is open into the evening.

Both centres were busy during the day and provide town centre environments which

encourage pedestrian movement and flow. It was also encouraging to note the

contribution the superstores in the towns make to their vitality. Positively, vacancy rates

are low within the town centres and there were no identifiable clusters of vacant

properties. The regeneration strategies implemented by the Council have clearly

improved the centres and this work will continue.

4.98 Pontardawe is ranked as a local centre by VenueScore and has seen its position fall in

recent years relative to other centres (that have improved their offer over the same

period). It should be noted however that it is unlikely that the VenueScore rankings take

account of the retail park offer in the town.

4.99 In overall terms, the three centres perform their functions relatively well. For Neath and

Port Talbot, however, a greater presence of family based food and drink uses, integrated

within the primary retail core, would help expand the centres’ operating hours thus

improving their viability. The household survey identified a lack of leisure use of these

centres, and a need to increase the choice / range of multiple retailers present. The

fact that proximity to home was a key factor for many town centre users suggests that

through an improved offer, the centres may be able to draw back some of those

residents currently travelling to Swansea for their shopping needs. The role that new retail

floorspace can play in this is considered in the following sections.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Retail Need Assessment


5. Retail Need Assessment

Introduction

5.1 This section sets out an assessment of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of retail

need in NPT. The qualitative assessment draws upon the review of town centre health

and retail provision in the preceding section of the report, along with the results of the

household shopping survey.

5.2 The quantitative need assessment provides a detailed analysis of available convenience

(food) and comparison (non-food – split between bulky and non-bulky goods)

expenditure and current retail expenditure flows across the County in order to

understand the current turnover levels of town centre and out-of-centre retail facilities in

the various settlements. These turnover levels are then compared against the existing

retail floorspace stock to derive retail floorspace capacity (quantitative need)

projections for Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe. The assessment has also considered

the scope for additional convenience goods floorspace in Glynneath where previous

consultancy studies commissioned by the Council have identified a qualitative

deficiency for this type of floorspace.

Qualitative Need

5.3 In terms of the overall assessment of need, the consideration of qualitative factors is an

important contributory element. Whilst an assessment of the growth in retail expenditure

in the study area can show the levels of expenditure available to support additional

retail floorspace in NPT, the case for additional provision also relates to providing a good

distribution of locations to improve accessibility for the whole community, and consumer

choice is enhanced by making provision for a range of shopping facilities which allow

genuine choice for residents. Accordingly, in the assessment that follows we have

considered the following range of indicators.

Our own qualitative assessment of the range of retail facilities within NPT, examining

the distribution of locations and accessibility;



Existing shopping patterns of local residents for convenience and comparison goods,

including the levels of expenditure leakage to stores outside the NPT area.

Neath

5.4 Within zone 1 (see study area plan below and at Appendix A), convenience goods

stores in Neath attract 73% of main food shopping trips and 89% of top-up food shopping

trips. Of the 27% of main food shopping trips which leak outside of the town from Zone 1,

19% of trips flow to Swansea. Convenience stores in Neath also attract small amounts of

expenditure from other zones in the study area, including zones 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, with zone

8 being the largest contributor in terms of its own market share with 6% main food trips

and 15% of top-up food shopping trips.

5.5 Within Neath, Tesco the most popular convenience goods store for both main and top-

up food shopping trips with a 34% market share in main food trips and a 24% market

share in top-up food shopping trips. The next most popular store is Morrisons which lies

adjacent to the current town centre boundary, with a 18% share of main-food trips and

a 8% share of top-up shopping trips. At present, existing town centre stores (excluding



Morrisons) attract 6% of main food shopping trips from zone 1 and 15% of top-up food

shopping trips from the same zone. This is in contrast to existing stores located outside of

the current town centre boundary which have a 67% market share in main food

shopping and a 75% market share in top-up shopping.

5.6 Overall, Neath has a good range of convenience goods shopping provision, with two

large stores and a smaller range of provision within the town centre (Iceland, Marks and

Spencer and Tesco Metro). The Morrisons store, whilst currently outside of the defined

town centre, contributes to the town centre given its proximity and thus providing an

important counter-balance against the out of centre Tesco at Neath Abbey.

5.7 In relation to comparison goods shopping patterns associated with Neath, the 2012

household survey indicates that existing stores in the town attract the following market

shares within Zone 1:

43% of clothes and shoes shopping

23% of spending on furniture, floorcoverings and textile

56% of DIY and hardware goods shopping

68% market share in spending on books and stationery

45% of spending on glassware

55% market share in non-bulky electrical goods shopping

45% of spending on bulky electrical goods

50% market share in spending on toys and games

5.8 Beyond zone 1, comparison goods facilities in Neath have the following trade draw:

Clothes and shoes stores attract expenditure from zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, with a

13% market share in Zone 5 and a 30% market share in Zone 8.

Furniture, floorcoverings and textiles store only attract expenditure from Zones 2 and

3.

DIY stores in Neath attract expenditure from all zones in the study area apart from

Zone 7, with a 25% market share in Zone 2, 11% in zone 5 and 55% in Zone 8



Books and stationery retails attract expenditure from all study area zones except 3

and 7 although, apart from Zone 1, the only substantial market share is in Zone 8

(69%)

Retailers selling glassware, jewellery and utensils have a catchment area which

covers Zone 1, 4-6 and 8. The most significant market shares are in Zones 1, 5 (19%)

and 8 (55%).

The catchment area for electrical goods shopping in Neath is Zones 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8,

although only Zones 1 and 8 make any meaningful contribution to the turnover of

existing stores in the town.

Neath attracts expenditure on toys and games from Zones 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 of the

study area. It has a 50% market share in Zone 1, 13% share in Zone 2 and 54% share

in Zone 8.

5.9 Overall, we consider that Neath has a primary catchment area which comprises Zones 1

(Neath) and 8 (Glynneath), with a secondary catchment in Zones 2 and 5. On balance,

Neath has the strongest catchment area of the three main towns in the County Borough,

although it still suffers from extensive leakage of comparison goods expenditure to

Swansea. Within Zone 1 (the zone in which Neath lies), Swansea has the following

market share levels:

Clothes and shoes 38%

Furniture, floorcoverings and textiles - 57%

DIY and hardware goods - 41%

Books and stationery - 27%

Glassware, jewellery, watches, utensils – 48%

Electrical goods – 50%

Toys and games – 47%

5.10 Overall, Neath has a reasonably good quality of comparison goods retail provision and

which is, on balance, the best in the County Borough. The town is able to command

reasonably high market shares in its core catchment zones (1 & 8), although there is an

unsurprising loss of large amounts of trade to Swansea. This loss is unsurprising and, to a

certain extent, inevitable given the size and attractiveness of facilities in Swansea.

However, we consider that there are realistic opportunities for improvements to be made



in the quality of Neath’s bulky and non-bulky comparison goods retail offer, such as via

the provision of a wider and better quality range of stores within the town centre

(considered further later in this report), and this in turn has the potential to boost the

town’s market share. Nevertheless, aspirations for increases in the quality of provision will

need to be realistic given the proximity of Swansea and the outlook for high street

comparison goods retailers in the UK.

Port Talbot

5.11 Port Talbot lies in Zone 2 of the study area and attracts 80% of main food shopping trips

and 72% of top-up food shopping trips from this zone. For both main and top-up food

shopping out of centre stores (such as the Morrisons) are more popular destinations than

town centre stores. For main food shopping, the out of centre market share is 47% in

Zone 2, whereas the town centre market share is 33%. For top-up food shopping the out

of centre market share is 51%, whereas the top-up market share is 20%.

5.12 Stores in Port Talbot also attract a significant market share of spending from residents of

Zone 3, including 47% of main food shopping trips and 34% of top-up food shopping trips.

Beyond these zones, Port Talbot has a much smaller market share in Zones 1, 4, 6, 7 and

8.

5.13 Like Neath, Port Talbot has a reasonable balance of convenience stores in the town

centre and in out of centre locations although the balance is in favour of out of centre

locations, including Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl stores. Within the town centre, the two main

convenience goods stores are Tesco and Iceland, although only the Tesco is able to

attract any significant amounts of main food shopping expenditure, with the Iceland

and other smaller stores concentrating on top-up food shopping trips.

5.14 Overall, and like Neath, we do not conclude that Port Talbot has a qualitative deficiency

in convenience goods retail provision. A range of main and top-up food shopping

facilities are available in both town centre and out of centre locations and there is

reasonable choice for both local residents and visitors to the town. We consider that the

balance of main and top-up food shopping facilities is an important aspect of provision

in Port Talbot, with the town centre Tesco store making an important contribution to

choice and competition in the central area.



5.15 In relation to comparison goods shopping patterns, the 2012 household survey indicates

that existing stores in Port Talbot attract the following market shares within Zones 2 and 3

which comprise the primary catchment area for the town:

Clothes and shoes shopping – 12% in Zone 2 and 12% in Zone 3

Furniture, floorcoverings and textiles – 25% in Zone 2 and 26% in Zone 3

DIY and hardware goods shopping – 21% in Zone 2 and 13% in Zone 3

Books and stationery – 49% in Zone 2 and 37% in Zone 3

Glassware, jewellery, watches and utensils – 42% in Zone 2 and 22% in Zone 3

Non-bulky electrical goods shopping – 46% in Zone 2 and 9% in Zone 3

Bulky electrical goods – 46% in Zone 2 and 50% in Zone 3

Toys and games – 29% in Zone 2 and 13% in Zone 3

5.16 Beyond Zones 2 and 3, comparison goods facilities in Port Talbot have the following

trade draw:

Clothes and shoes stores also attract expenditure from zones 1, 4, 6 and 8.

Furniture, floorcoverings and textiles store also attract expenditure from Zones 4 and

8.

DIY stores in Port Talbot also attract expenditure from Zones 1 and 4.

Apart from Zones 2 and 3 books and stationery retailers also attract expenditure from

Zone 4

Retailers selling glassware, jewellery and utensils have a catchment area which

covers Zone 4-6 and 8.

Beyond Zones 2 and 3, the catchment area for electrical goods shopping in Port

Talbot is Zones 1, 4 and 8.

Beyond Zones 2 and 3 only Zone 4 contributes expenditure on toys and games to

stores in Port Talbot.

5.17 Therefore, we consider that Port Talbot has a primary catchment area which comprises

Zones 2 and 3, with a secondary catchment in Zones 1, 4 and 8. It is notable that Neath

lies in the secondary catchment of Port Talbot and the opposite is true for Neath’s

catchment, although Port Talbot is more subservient to Neath.



5.18 Like Neath, Port Talbot suffers from relatively high levels of leakage and there is an

interesting pattern of leakage from the town’s two primary catchment zones (2 and 3).

Within Zone 2, the majority of leakage flows to Swansea, whilst a different patterns

emerges for Zone 3 with much higher levels of leakage to Bridgend and Cardiff. It is

therefore quite clear that there is a watershed on the border of Zones 2 and 3 with Port

Talbot residents looking to Swansea and residents of Margam/Pyle looking to Bridgend

and Cardiff. This pattern may be due to a number of factors although distance to these

surrounding settlements is likely to play a significant part.

5.19 Port Talbot has similar characteristics to Neath in terms of a reasonable retention of local

expenditure alongside the significant influence of nearby towns. Port Talbot’s core

comparison goods catchment area is zones 2 and 3, although overall it is a slightly

weaker catchment than Neath. Whereas Neath competes solely with Swansea for

trade, Port Talbot falls within the influence of Swansea, Bridgend and Cardiff, which is a

further constraint on the ability of the town to improve its comparison goods offer.

Therefore, whilst there is an opportunity to improve the qualitative offer in Port Talbot, the

scale of improvement is likely to be constrained by surrounding towns.

Pontardawe

5.20 Pontardawe lies in Zone 6 of the study area and the 2012 household survey results

indicate that the town has a 38% market share in main food shopping trips in this zone

and a market share of 40% for top-up food shopping trips. Whilst Zone 6 is relatively large

and not just confined to Pontardawe itself, these market share levels are not particularly

high. There is significant leakage of main and top-up food shopping expenditure to

Swansea and Ammanford, with Swansea being the dominant shopping destination. This

leakage is not particularly surprising given the proximity of Swansea and its travel

connections, along with the strength of its existing supermarkets. Moreover, this leakage

of some trips is not necessarily due to existing provision in Pontardawe, which has a large

Tesco supermarket and smaller Lidl, Farmfoods and Co-op stores along with small

independent niche retailers.

5.21 On this basis, and despite the level of existing shopping trip leakage, we do not consider

that there is a material qualitative deficiency in convenience goods floorspace in

Pontardawe. Whilst it would clearly be beneficial to retain more convenience goods

shopping trips locally, the likelihood of a noticeable increase in the town’s market share

is unlikely.



5.22 Turning to comparison goods shopping, Pontardawe has a much smaller and a much

weaker current catchment area than Neath and Port Talbot. The results of the 2012

household survey indicate that the primary catchment of the town is limited to Zone 6,

with Zone 5 comprising the secondary catchment area. Within its primary catchment

area of Zone 6, Pontardawe is able to achieve the following current market share levels:

Clothes and shoes – 4%

Furniture, floorcoverings and textiles – 9%

DIY – 5%

Books – 10%

Glassware – 31%

Non-bulky electrical goods – 7%

Bulky electrical goods - 12%

Toys and games - 21%

5.23 Overall, there are clearly opportunities to improve the quality and range of comparison

goods floorspace provision within Pontardawe. This has been recognised by the grant of

planning permission for unrestricted comparison goods sales floorspace at the former

Tinplate works in the town, although the lack of implementation of that permission

suggests that the ability to actually achieve a substantial improvement in provision is

likely to be difficult given the proximity of the town to Swansea and the likelihood that

retailers, outside of the convenience and discount-orientated sectors, are more likely to

choose Swansea as a destination.

Quantitative Need

Introduction

5.24 In this section the quantitative need for additional retail floorspace in Neath, Port Talbot

Pontardawe and Glynneath (solely for convenience goods) is assessed. The assessment

period is between 2012 and 2026 (the end date for the NPT LDP) and interim projections

are provided for 2017, 2022 and 2026. The capacity tables accompanying this

assessment are attached at Appendix C.

5.25 The methodology for the quantitative assessment is based on the following:



Step 1 – Definition of an appropriate geographical area of analysis for the

quantitative assessment, hereafter known as the study area.

Step 2 – Calculate the current (2012) population and expenditure available within

the study area and forecast future population and expenditure growth over a

specific period. In this instance we have used a period up to 2026.

Step 3 – Calculate the levels of convenience and comparison expenditure flowing

to stores and centres within the study area, using a market share analysis based on

the results of the 2012 NPT household survey of shopping patterns.

Step 4 – In order to assess the quantitative need for additional retail floor space we

have used a market share approach. This involves the assumption that retail

floorspace within the three centres will achieve a particular market share of

available retail expenditure within the study area as a whole.

5.26 Step one of the capacity assessment requires setting a study area. Previous retail studies

(by NLP in 2000 and by King Sturge in 2005) adopted similar study areas, although the

King Sturge study split the area used by NLP into 8 zones as opposed to the 7 zones used

by NLP. The additional zone within the King Sturge survey reflected the two distinct

catchment areas – the Upper Swansea, and Neath and Dulais Valleys – which were

considered as one zone (Zone 5) in the survey commissioned by NLP. For this study, we

have retained the zones used in the 2005 King Sturge study. To gain a representative

sample, a total of 779 people were interviewed. A copy of the study area plan is

contained at Appendix A and the results are contained at Appendix B.

5.27 There are a number of data inputs into the quantitative need methodology and these

are explained below.

Population – estimates of population have been sourced from Experian data with

the latest predictions providing the 2012 base for this assessment. These projections

have been compared with the preferred growth strategy for the LDP to ensure that

the retail study capacity assessment reflects the LDP population projections. At the

time this study was being prepared, the Authority was also undertaking an Economic

Study for the County Borough and the results of that study led to the LDP projections

being revised upwards. It was agreed with NPT Planning Officers that the updated

projections would be used as the basis for population growth in the study area zones

– this was achieved by taking the Experian base population at 2012 and projecting

this forward using an agreed per annum growth figure. This reflects the population



growth projections that will form the basis of the Deposit LDP and represents an

increased level of growth in comparison to the projections used in the Pre-Deposit

LDP issued in September 2011. The projections are set out in Table 1 in Appendix C.

Per capita retail expenditure. Up-to-date estimates of per capita expenditure for

each of the study area zones have been obtained from Experian and have been

projected forward using growth rates for expenditure per capita on convenience

and comparison goods which are closely based on those published by Experian in its

Retail Planner Briefing Note 10.1 (October 2012). .

Allowance for special forms of trading. Within the estimates of retail expenditure we

have taken into account spending on ‘special forms of trading’ (i.e. spending on

mail order, catalogue and internet shopping), as advised by Experian in its Retail

Planner Briefing Note 10.1 (October 2012).

Shopping patterns. The 2000 and 2005 studies were supported by bespoke surveys of

household shopping patterns. For this study, a new household survey was

commissioned for the study area (as described above). The survey includes

questions regarding the following aspects of shopping behaviour:

main and ‘top-up’ food shopping destinations;

shopping destinations for: clothes/shoes; furniture/floor coverings/textiles; DIY

goods; books, stationery, CDs/DVDs; homewares and personal/luxury goods;

non-bulky electrical goods; domestic appliances, and recreational goods;

the amount of money spent on the above types of goods, and frequency of

shopping trips;

preferred town centre and usage patterns (i.e. reason for visits, amount of

multi-purpose trips, length of time spent in centre of choice, etc);

the strengths and weaknesses of respondents’ preferred centre.

The results of the household survey are included within Appendix B to this study.

Retail sales densities and benchmark turnover levels - the 2005 study used company

average performance levels for each of the main grocery retailers within the

quantitative assessment of floorspace capacity. Where published information is



known, this approach continues in this latest study with the latest information on the

large grocery retailers obtained from Verdict data. For comparison retailing, the

benchmark turnover levels for each centre used in the 2005 study were based on

the turnover identified for each centre / outlet assuming an equilibrium position in

the assessment of capacity. For this latest study, the equilibrium approach

continues, for the reasons outlined later in this section.

Commitments – allowance for the following commitments has been made in the

analysis:

- Neath Car Sales (Briton Ferry): permission for 487sq m of new retail floorspace,

assumed to comprise 312sq m net convenience sales and 77sq m of

comparison goods floorspace.

- Burrows Yard, Port Talbot: planning permission for 3,702sq m gross retail

floorspace, assumed to include 1,699sq m net convenience goods floorspace

and 1,074sq m net comparison goods floorspace.

- Brunel Industrial Estate, Cwmafan: 592sq m net convenience goods sales area

- New foodstore, Ystalyfera: 2,323sq m net sales area, including 1,510sq m net

convenience sales and 813sq m net comparison goods sales area.

- New foodstore of 2,137sq m net convenience goods sales within the Coed

Darcy development.

5.28 On the basis of the above information, we set out below the current financial

performance and indicative baseline floorspace capacity estimates for the main centres

NPT.

5.29 The statistical tables forming our quantitative assessment at Appendix C are structured in

the following order:

Table 2 – per capita retail expenditure within the study area, by zone, for

convenience and comparison goods

floorspace in Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe.

Tables 11a-11b - quantitative need assessment for additional bulky comparison

goods floorspace in Neath and Port Talbot.

Neath

5.30 The assessment of the quantitative need for additional convenience goods floorspace in

Neath is contained in Table 9b at Appendix C. The structure of this table, and every

other quantitative assessment table in Appendix C follows the same format:

Confirmation of the total amount of available retail expenditure within the study

area;

The level of retail expenditure attracted by convenience or comparison stores from

the study area;

The market share equivalent of this study area derived turnover;

The amount of expenditure which stores attract from outside of the study area;

The total turnover of existing retail facilities (adding together the study area derived

turnover and expenditure inflow totals);



The benchmark turnover of existing stores;

Where applicable, the turnover of committed retail floorspace;

The residual level of retail expenditure to accommodate new retail floorspace,

based on a comparison of total turnover levels with benchmark turnover and the

turnover of commitments.

5.31 Based on this structure, the assessment of quantitative need for convenience goods

floorspace in Neath at Table 9b indicates that existing facilities are able to attract

£86.4m of expenditure from the study area which is supplemented by a further £4.3m

flowing from outside of the study area, providing a total turnover of £90.7m. In order to

arrive at these total turnover levels we have also included the turnover associated with

facilities in Skewen and Briton Ferry as we consider that these areas are closely related

with the convenience shopping function of Neath.

5.32 When compared with the benchmark turnover of existing facilities (£95.0m) and the

turnover of the commitments at Neath Car Sales in Briton Ferry (£3.8m) and Coed Darcy

(£25.6m), Table 9b indicates that there is a current over-provision of convenience goods

floorspace within the Neath area which is equivalent to £33.8m of expenditure.

5.33 Moving forwards across the assessment period, we have taken into account the effect

that other convenience goods floorspace proposals will have on the ability of stores in

Neath to attract expenditure from the wider study area. This includes the effect of the

committed new ASDA supermarket at Ystalyfera which is likely to remove a small amount

of expenditure flowing to Neath, along with the positive impact of the Coed Darcy

foodstore on the market share of Neath. On this basis, we predict that the market share

of convenience goods stores in Neath in the study area will rise from 19.1% to 20.7% as a

result of these commitments.

5.34 On the basis of this small rise in market share and also the continued rise in available

convenience goods expenditure across the assessment period, the deficit in

convenience goods expenditure capacity will fall to £22.8m in 2017, £17m in 2022 and

£11.5m in 2026.

5.35 However, subject to the comments made in relation to the potential for new

convenience goods floorspace in Glynneath later in this section, this deficit could grow if

new floorspace is provided in Glynneath. Therefore, on the basis of our analysis, there is



unlikely to be any quantitative capacity for new convenience goods floorspace in

Neath up to 2026.

5.36 Turning to quantitative capacity for comparison goods expenditure in Neath, this

assessment is provided at Table 10a at Appendix C. It follows the same structure as the

convenience goods assessment and takes into account the effect that existing

floorspace commitments will have on the level of comparison goods expenditure flowing

to stores in Neath in the future. We consider that the commitments at Burrows Yard in

Port Talbot and ASDA in Ystalyfera will also remove comparison goods expenditure from

Neath. The effect of this will be to reduce the market share of existing facilities within the

town from 13.2% to 12.6%. On this basis, whilst stores in Neath will still continue to

experience a rise in turnover from study area residents between 2012 and 2017 (£75.4m

to £80.3m) it will be much lower than would be expected if the town was able to

maintain its existing market share. Based on a falling market share for stores in Neath,

Table 10a indicates that the total turnover potential for stores in Neath will be £79.2m in

2012, £84.4m in 2017, £96.5m in 2022 and £110m in 2026.

5.37 At this point it should be noted that the market share of Neath as established by the 2005

retail study was 16% within the study area. Based upon the analysis within this study,

Neath’s market share has fallen to 13.2% indicating that the town has been losing market

share to surrounding settlements on the basis of either natural changes in shopping

patterns and/or the effect of the opening of new retail floorspace in surrounding

settlements.

5.38 In order to translate these turnover levels into an assessment of quantitative need there is

a need to compare against benchmark turnover levels. In the 2005 King Sturge study for

the Council, it was assumed that the current turnover levels in 2005 were equivalent to

an appropriate benchmark turnover for all stores at that same year. This was on the

basis of the widely recognised situation that it is difficult to provide a precise benchmark

turnover based on the individual trading performance of individual stores and the lack of

available robust data. For non-bulky comparison goods floorspace, KS indicated a 2005

benchmark sales density performance of £4,103/sq m and a density for bulky goods

floorspace of £4,585/sq m. When combined, this equated to a density of £4,228/sq m

(2001 prices). We do have, however, some concerns over the accuracy of the

floorspace data which was used by KS to arrive at these benchmark sales density figures,

particularly the split between bulky and non-bulky goods floorspace.



5.39 That concern aside, we predict that the current turnover of all comparison goods stores

in Neath is £79.2m which is equivalent to a current trading sales density of £3,400/sq m

(2010 prices). When the 2005 calculation are converted to 2010 prices, this provides a

2005 density of £3,030/sq m. This is equivalent to a 13% rise over this seven year period or

circa 2% per annum which we consider to be a reasonable, and not excessive, increase

in turnover levels. We consider that with no signs of significant over-trading or congestion

within existing stores and the relationship between the 2005 and 2012 trading levels, it is

reasonable to continue with the assumption that current turnover levels represent a

reasonable benchmark for the assessment of future floorspace capacity.

5.40 On this basis, and taking into account the loss of market share due to other

commitments, Table 10a indicates that there will be capacity for an additional 150sq m

of comparison goods floorspace by 2022, rising to 1,260sq m in 2026. These figures are on

the basis that Neath is unable to increase its market share in the comparison goods retail

sector over the lifetime of the assessment and therefore, assuming that no further

commitments occur outside of the town, could represent a worst-case scenario.

5.41 If Neath is able to increase its market share in the comparison goods retail sector, there is

the potential for additional quantitative capacity to be identified as additional retail

expenditure is attracted to the town to support both existing and net additional

floorspace. This potential was also outlined in the 2005 retail study and a 30% increase in

Neath’s overall comparison goods market share was modelled, leading to an indicative

forecast quantitative capacity of 16,000sq m net by 2016.

5.42 Whilst the market share of Neath has fallen over the past seven years, we have modelled

the same proportionate increase in market share (i.e. 30%) as the 2005 study, and the

effect of this is shown in Table 10b at Appendix C. We consider that a 30% increase in

the market share of comparison goods shopping in Neath is a reasonable and

appropriate aspiration for the town, given the level of competition from Swansea and

the current amount of lost expenditure. In order to achieve this market share, Neath

would need to provide the quality and quantity of new facilities which would stop

shopping trips/expenditure leaking outside of the town. This is best achieved via a high

quality new town centre development which can build upon the attractiveness of

existing town centre facilities and opportunities for this expansion are considered later in

this report. However, based upon the information regarding the current town centre

regeneration scheme that we have been provided with by NPTCBC, we consider that

this increase is attainable. Table 10b indicates that a one third increase in market share



will increase Neath’s study area market share from 12.6%4 to 16.3% and this market share

is then held constant over the assessment period to 2026. On this basis, the total turnover

potential of Neath would increase to £109.7m at 2017 and lead to a quantitative

capacity of £22.6m which is sufficient to support an indicative net increase in floorspace

of 4,600sq m net. By 2022, surplus expenditure rises to £30.6m in 2022 and £41.7m in 2026,

with floorspace capacity equivalents of 5,700sq m net and 7,300sq m net respectively.

5.43 These quantitative capacity forecasts indicative the potential for Neath to increase the

amount of comparison goods floorspace over the LDP period. However, the ability to

achieve these increases will be dependant upon the type of comparison goods

floorspace which can be provided, including its quality and ability to claw back retail

expenditure which is currently being lost to larger settlements such as Swansea.

5.44 In addition, simply because there is the potential capacity for an increase in Neath’s

comparison goods shopping market share, this does not automatically indicate that this

level of provision will be acceptable. The true acceptability of providing this level of

floorspace will depend upon the planned location of this new floorspace and its

relationship within existing provision within the town.

5.45 It should be noted that for all of our quantitative capacity forecasts for convenience

and comparison goods retail provision, the most reliable forecast period is 2012-2017, as

retail expenditure and turnover forecasts beyond this point become less robust due to

the time period involved. This position accords with the standard best practice for local

planning authorities to update their retail and town centre floorspace evidence base

documents on a five-yearly period.

5.46 We have also assessed the quantitative capacity for additional bulky comparison goods

floorspace within Neath and have adopted the same approach as the wider total

comparison goods floorspace category (i.e. the current turnover of bulky goods

floorspace within Neath is equivalent to a reasonable 2012 benchmark turnover level).

This is shown in Table 11a at Appendix C. On this basis, we forecast that, based on a

constant market share, there will £0.7m of surplus expenditure to accommodate new

bulky comparison goods floorspace. If the same sales density as the wider comparison

goods analysis is used, then there will be capacity for around 80sq m net of new

4 Assuming that the commitments at Burrows Yard and Ystalyfera, are implemented



floorspace by 2017. By 2022, surplus expenditure will have risen to £1.8m and £4.1m by

2026, which is equivalent to 330sq m net and 700sq m net additional floorspace for

respectively. These levels of additional provision are not large enough to warrant a

specific allocation and instead the forecast level of additional floorspace should be

provided for within either the town centre allocations outlined in the next section of this

report or as part of small-scale improvements to existing bulky goods stores.

Port Talbot

5.47 Our quantitative capacity assessment for convenience goods floorspace in Port Talbot is

shown in Table 9c at Appendix C. It indicates that, at present, convenience goods

floorspace across Port Talbot is able to attract £83.5m of convenience goods

expenditure from the study area, which is supplemented by a further £4.2m from outside

of this study area. This leads to a total turnover potential for Port Talbot of £87.7m in 2012.

5.48 When compared with the current benchmark turnover of convenience stores in Port

Talbot (£80.7m) there has the potential to be a quantitative capacity, although there is a

need to take into account the commitment at Burrows Yard for circa 3,700sq m gross

new retail floorspace. Whilst Units B and C on this scheme are excluded from selling

convenience goods, we have assumed that Units A, D and E could, as a worst-case

scenario sell convenience goods and this has been accounted for within the analysis at

Table 9c. In addition, we consider that the Coed Darcy foodstore in Zone 1 could stem

part of the small leakage of convenience goods expenditure from Zone 1 to stores in

Port Talbot.

5.49 On this basis, Table 9c indicates that there will not be any surplus convenience goods

expenditure until 2026 when £4.2m will be available. Therefore, there is unlikely to be any

short to medium term capacity for substantial increases in convenience goods

floorspace in Port Talbot over the short to medium term on the basis that the town’s

convenience goods market share remains relatively constant. The ability to alter the

town’s market share, due to qualitative factors has been discussed earlier in this chapter

and its has been concluded that there is no overriding qualitative deficiency within the

town to warrant the Council making a planned intervention in the town’s market share.

Therefore, we propose that a constant market share for convenience goods shopping is

pursued for Port Talbot and there is no need for additional allocations to deliver new

floorspace in the short to medium term, although a future review of the plan may need

to plan for a small increase in provision.



5.50 In relation to comparison goods retail provision, Table 10c at Appendix C indicates that

all existing facilities in Port Talbot are able to attract £45.8m of expenditure from the study

area, which is supplemented by a further £2.3m from outside of the study area. This

equates to a market share in the study area of 8% at 2012.

5.51 Moving forward to 2017 we have made an allowance for a small increase in the market

share of Port Talbot due to the trading effects of the Burrows Yard retail commitment,

with the town’s market share rising from 8% to 8.6%. On this basis, the total turnover of the

town’s comparison goods sector will rise to £57.5m and will provide a surplus level of

comparison goods expenditure of £2.1m at 2022. This equates to an indicative capacity

of 400sq m net additional floorspace at 2022.

5.52 By 2026, and based on a constant market share, surplus expenditure will rise to £6.8m,

equivalent to an indicative capacity of 1,200sq m net by 2026.

5.53 In arriving at these quantitative capacity forecasts, we have determined that the current

benchmark turnover of existing comparison goods floorspace within Port Talbot should

match the existing total turnover potential of these existing stores. The 2005 King Sturge

retail study identified that existing facilities were trading with a 2005 benchmark of

£2,900/sq m5 which is equivalent to a density of £2,100/sq m at 2010 prices. We

calculate that the current turnover of comparison goods facilities in Port Talbot is

equivalent to a trading density of £2,900/sq m which, whilst an improvement, is still

relatively low and does not indicate any sign of collective over-trading. On this basis, we

have decided to fix the current (2012) benchmark turnover of comparison goods

floorspace in Port Talbot at the same level as the current turnover of existing floorspace

(i.e. £2,900/sq m) and there is an argument to suggest that the benchmark level should

be set even higher in order to protect the viability of existing floorspace within the town

centre. However, in order that this latest retail study does not unduly constrain the

potential to provide new retail provision within Port Talbot town centre we remain with a

benchmark sales density of £2,900/sq m although proposals for new comparison goods

floorspace, particularly those outside of the town centre, should be rigorously examined

in order to ensure that the health of the town centre is protected.

5 2001 prices



5.54 Like Neath, we have also undertaken an analysis of bulky comparison goods floorspace

capacity in Port Talbot and this is contained in Table 11b at Appendix C. In line with our

approach to the wider assessment of quantitative need for comparison goods

floorspace in Port Talbot, and for the same reasons, we have set the benchmark turnover

of existing facilities in the town at the same level of current turnover levels. On this basis,

there will be £0.4m of surplus expenditure by 2017, rising to £1.5m in 2022 and £3.3m in

2026. Using an indicative sales density to match the wider comparison goods

assessment, these levels of surplus expenditure equate to 100sq m net at 2017, 300sq m

at 2022 and 600sq m net at 2026. Like Neath, these levels of quantitative capacity are

not large enough alone to warrant a specific allocation. Instead the forecast level of

additional floorspace should be provided for within either the town centre allocations

outlined in the next section of this report, or as part of small-scale improvements to

existing bulky goods stores, or bulky goods allocations based on the need to provide the

quality of provision (rather than solely relying on the quantitative capacity forecasts

alone).

Pontardawe

5.55 Table 9d at Appendix C outlines the quantitative capacity for convenience goods

floorspace in Pontardawe, indicating that, at present, stores attract £27.6m from the

study area and a total turnover potential at 2012 of £29m. Even on this basis, the

benchmark turnover of existing floorspace (£38.8m) is well in excess of current turnover

levels, indicating that there is more than sufficient existing convenience goods

floorspace to cover existing demand. Looking to the future, our assessment takes into

account the likely impact of the supermarket commitment in Ystalyfera which is very

likely to decrease the amount of expenditure which will flow to stores in Pontardawe in

the future. We estimate that Pontardawe’s market share will fall from 6.1% to 5% by 2017

and, on the basis that this market share continues over the assessment period, will lead

to a over-supply of convenience goods floorspace over the entire assessment period.

5.56 The quantitative capacity assessment for comparison goods floorspace in Pontardawe is

contained in Table 10D (Appendix C). The assessment indicates that existing comparison

goods floorspace in the town has a market share of 2.2% in the study area, based on the

attraction of £12.5m of comparison goods expenditure from the study area.

5.57 In order to assess future quantitative capacity in Pontardawe, it is now no longer

necessary to take into account the commitment at the former Economic



Packaging/Tinplate Works for seven unrestricted comparison goods retail warehouse

units (3,869sq m gross) as this expired in September 2012. We have therefore, for the

purposes of assessing capacity, held Pontardawe’s comparison goods market share

constant at 2.2% over the period 2012-2026.

5.58 In order to assess the quantitative capacity for comparison goods floorspace within

Pontardawe there is a need to set an appropriate benchmark turnover for the start of

the assessment period (2012). Little meaningful comparison can be made with the

contents of the 2005 retail study given the amount of retail floorspace which has

subsequently been opened. Based on the current trading performance levels of the

town, existing comparison goods floorspace has a sales density of £2,343/sq m which we

consider to be relatively low based on the amount and type of retail floorspace currently

available. Therefore, in order to ensure that the viability of existing floorspace within the

town centre is protected in the future, we have decided to set a benchmark turnover for

existing comparison goods floorspace in Pontardawe higher than current turnover levels.

5.59 On this basis, Table 10d at Appendix C indicates that there is no potential for any net

additional comparison goods floorspace up to 2026. This is due to an allowance being

made for the current low trading performance of existing floorspace.

Glynneath

5.60 Whilst smaller than the other three towns in the County Borough, Glynneath has been

subject to some recent research on behalf of NPTCBC in relation to convenience goods

floorspace provision and, as a consequence, it is considered appropriate that Glynneath

therefore features as part of the quantitative need assessment in this retail study.

5.61 At present, the Glynneath area benefits from a relatively limited amount of convenience

goods floorspace, comprising small Co-op, Costcutter and Tesco Express stores, which

the 2012 household survey indicates just over 10% of main food shopping trips and half of

all top-up food shopping trips from the local area (Zone 8).

5.62 Research undertaken by NLP for NPTCBC in 2010 examined the potential capacity to

accommodate a new foodstore within Glynneath, alongside a qualitative analysis of

existing provision and the potential impact of a new store. In relation to quantitative

factors, the NLP research concluded that there was expenditure capacity within the

local area to support a new store with 700-800sq m net convenience goods sales

floorspace.



5.63 Whilst it is not within the remit of this retail study to completely revisit the work undertake

by NLP, we have examined the quantitative shopping patterns established as part of this

study to assess whether the statistical assessment of quantitative capacity conducted by

NLP remains relevant.

5.64 At the present year (2012), Table 9e at Appendix C indicates that convenience shopping

facilities have a low market share within the study area of just 1.3%. Glynneath lies in

Zone 8 in our study area and this area is very likely to comprise the catchment area for

any new store within Glynneath, as residents from outside of this area are very likely to

look to existing and proposed stores in Neath, Pontardawe, Ystalyfera and Hirwaun. The

area covered by Zone 8 was also broadly the same area adopted by NLP as the

primary/secondary catchment area for a new store in Glynneath. In our opinion, the

provision of a new foodstore within Glynneath would increase the market share of the

town in Zone 8 to 60%-70%, with 60% a more likely scenario. On the basis of this lift in

market share, convenience stores in Glynneath have the potential to attract £15.1m

from the study area which is equivalent to a 3.1% study area market share. Taking into

account a small allowance for expenditure inflow and comparing the total turnover

potential of stores against an appropriate benchmark turnover, our Table 9e indicates

that there is potential for a surplus of £8.1m at 2017. This is equivalent to an indicative

floorspace capacity of 660sq m net at 2017 and would allow the provision of a modest

sized new foodstore.

5.65 The acceptability of the impact a foodstore of this size, or anything larger, will be

dependant on the location of the store and we would advise the Council that a location

which lies within or immediately adjacent to the existing defined centre in Glynneath is

likely to be an appropriate location, as it will enable linked trips between the two

locations. Within the 2010 NLP research, it was suggested that the impact of a store with

a total net sales area of 1,100-1,200sq m would be limited. It is not within our instructions

to undertake a further assessment of impact based upon the latest available data,

although we would recommend to the Council that the NLP work should not be seen as

a substitute to the need for a comprehensive retail impact assessment which should be

submitted with any future planning application.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Retail development Sites: Policy Analysis


6. Retail Development Sites: Policy Analysis

Introduction

6.1 A key component of a proactive approach to meeting retail needs is the identification

of appropriate sites together with policies to bring forward new development. Where

quantitative and/or qualitative needs for retail development have been identified,

existing and potential sites within town centres, or on the edge of centres should be

examined along with the potential to expand existing centres and/or promote new

ones.

6.2 This stage of the retail study therefore examines potential development opportunities

throughout the Neath Port Talbot area. This includes sites being actively promoted by

developers and sites proposed as part of the LDP process. It assesses each site put

forward and gives further more detailed consideration to those identified sites capable

of accommodating additional retail sales floorspace. The sites are assessed in retail

planning policy terms initially, but consideration is also given to other material

considerations the sites can deliver in socio-economic terms.

6.3 The assessment is required to provide a robust and comprehensive evidence base to

inform any decisions (policy or development control) made with respect to the sites

being promoted for retail development. The results of the assessment will provide a base

position which can be revisited and revised as and when applications come forward.

Subject Sites

6.4 The sites to be included within this assessment have been identified by the Council as a

result of previous and current developer activity, and the LDP process. It is

acknowledged, however, that there may be other potential locations within the town

centres but as these are not subject to any current developer promotion, they have not

been assessed.

6.5 The assessed sites include:

Neath Town Centre Regeneration Area;



Milland Road Regeneration Area;

Tesco Expansion Land at Neath Abbey;

Land at Port Talbot Docks;

Glanafan School, Port Talbot; and

Land off Park Avenue, Glynneath;

6.6 Plans of the above sites are included in Appendix D. All plans at Appendix D show the

site edged in red along with the relevant town centre boundary (as defined in the

adopted UDP) edged in blue (where it is visible in relation to the site).

Methodology

6.7 The overall objective of this stage of the study is to provide a thorough and robust

assessment of the locational characteristics of each of the potential development sites

and appraise each location against a range of planning indicators.

6.8 The assessment takes as its starting point the established approach to sequential site

assessment – the audit of potential sites and their performance against the tests of

suitability, availability and viability. It then moves on to consider other determining

factors outside retail policy before drawing conclusions on the overall performance of

each site.

6.9 The results of the assessment exercise are presented in a series of standard proformas

included in Appendix E. The main headlines from these are included in the Summary

Matrix at the end of this section, before conclusions are drawn on the relative

performance of each site.

Site Audit

6.10 The first step in the process sought to establish the characteristics of each site:

the classification of each site: town centre, edge-of-centre, out-of-centre6;

6 As defined by TAN4:



the distance and route between each site and the town centre;

existing routes and linkage between the site and the town centre; and

the potential future condition of the site based on known aspirations (i.e. policy

allocation / development proposal).

Retail Policy Tests

6.11 Advice in PPW suggests that when adopting a sequential approach, first preference

should be for town centre locations, followed by edge-of-centre and then out-of-centre

locations. Following on from the ‘audit’ of site characteristics, each location has

therefore been thoroughly assessed against the established retail planning tests of

suitability, availability and viability. These are defined as follows:

suitability - the capability of a site to accommodate the proposed use. This is based

on the characteristics of retail use (whether it be food / non-food / bulky goods retail

use) and the appropriateness of that use to the site in question. We have taken

account of the requirements of national planning policy guidance which requires

developers, retailers and local planning authorities to be flexible about the format,

design and scale of the development proposed and the amount of car parking,

tailoring these to fit the local circumstances. This test will also consider the ‘suitability’

of the sites from other perspectives including whether the site is the best location in

Neath Port Talbot for the proposed use, general accessibility criteria, effect on town

centre health, removal of existing uses etc;

availability – the likely timescale associated with the development of a retail use at

the site. This will consider site ownership, existing uses and any potential difficulties that

may arise from land assembly. The timescales for site availability could be short,

‘Suitable’ town centre sites: a “suitable” town centre site is one acceptable for a proposed form of town centre

development in terms of its location, size, access, relationship to adjoining uses and any other factor pertaining to a particular site.

Edge-of-centre site: a location within easy walking distance of the centre normally not more than 200-300 metres from existing town centre shops, providing parking facilities that serve the centre as well as the store, thus enabling one trip to serve several purposes. Lesser distances may be appropriate for smaller town centres and local circumstances such as topography will also determine appropriate distances. For the purposes of this assessment, distance has been measured from the town centre boundary as defined in the adopted local plan.

Out-of-centre: a location that is clearly separate from a town centre, but not necessarily outside the urban area.



medium or long term and will be influenced by the presence of existing units /

business operations on the site and the known aspirations of owners and occupiers.

viability – the general economic characteristics of the site in terms of ownership,

likelihood of off-site infrastructure / enabling works, and the operational characteristics

and effect on operator performance.

Non-retail Considerations

6.12 In addition to the retail tests set out above, in determining any application put before it,

NPTCBC would need to consider a range of material considerations. This is

acknowledged by PPW:

‘regeneration and additional employment benefits are not considered

qualitative need factors in retail policy terms, though they may be

material considerations in making a decision on a planning application’.

(Para 10.3.3)

6.13 In this light, and given that this study represents an integral part of the evidence base for

both the emerging LDP and development control decisions on retail proposals, it is

critical that other (albeit related) material considerations are examined as part of the

assessment process. This is particularly important where edge-of-centre proposals are

considered alongside town centre sites. For example, an edge of centre proposal that

performs reasonably well in sequential terms could be viewed as delivering a greater

level of benefits (regeneration and employment) to a centre than a comparable

scheme within the defined town centre. In this light, NPTCBC will need to ensure that all

aspects of a retail proposal have been considered when it determines planning

applications, not simply the retail tests in isolation.

6.14 Clearly, whilst retail policy tests are of importance to the performance of each of the

sites, there are a number of other (albeit related) factors that will also exert an influence.

This assessment therefore looks at other regeneration based / socio-economic criteria to

understand what benefits (if any) could be achieved outside of the typical retail

Out-of-town: an out-of-town development on a green-field site, or on land not clearly within the current urban

boundary.



planning tests. The objective of this approach is to present a fuller picture of the relative

merits / disadvantages of each site / proposal. This will allow any sites that do not fully

meet the tests of sequential preference but deliver other wider and fully justifiable

benefits to the town to be identified. This is not, however, an opportunity for out-of-

centre sites to be approved on grounds of regeneration benefits – retail proposals must

still perform against the established retail tests and decisions can not be taken without a

clear and comprehensive evidence base (taking into account the tests of suitability,

availability and viability plus the need for flexibility). Proposals should therefore only be

considered favourably where any adverse impacts / non-compliance with retail policy

are insignificant and likely to be outweighed by substantial wider benefits (economic /

social / environmental / etc). In these instances, NPTCBC will need to be satisfied that

broad compliance with retail policies can be achieved alongside the potential wider

planning gains.

6.15 NPTCBC’s strategic aims and objectives for the town centre will be a key aspect of the

decision-making process as it is a scheme’s overall acceptability that will need to be

established, not just its retail credentials. Town centre policy provisions will have a

significant bearing in this regard.

6.16 Against this context, the final stage of the assessment takes forward the findings of the

audit and retail planning appraisal and considers each site against a number of other

material factors to provide a measure of overall site performance. The appraisal

exercise looks at each site from the following perspectives:

Regeneration: the potential impact of the final development on, and its contribution

to, the vitality and viability of the town centre. The site assessment considers the

benefits that a development could bring (such as increased pedestrian movement

and activity, enhanced connection / integration with the existing town centre (and

the associated potential for linked trips), compatibility with regeneration initiatives

already completed / underway) and identifies the potential for any detrimental

impact on town centre strategies. Essentially, this measure will look at transportation,

movement and accessibility; integration with the town centres (existing and

potential); strategic policy compliance; and opportunity (for alternative uses that may

offer greater benefit to the town centres).

Deliverability & Timescales: this factor accounts for a range of variables that could

influence a site’s ability to come forward and ties in with the sequential tests of



suitability, viability and availability. This includes the current status of a site (occupied /

unoccupied), site characteristics (i.e. topography, remediation requirements, flood

risk, etc), and ownership characteristics (number of parties involved, differing

aspirations, public / private, etc). It will also account for the time it could take to

deliver the developments proposed. This will be important as it will relate the

proposals to the anticipated timescales for existing regeneration strategies / initiatives

and levels of retail capacity.

Development Contribution – this relates to the opportunities presented for the delivery

of wider benefits to the town centre. Any identified contribution will be subject to the

usual tests of necessity, fairness, and reasonableness, and overall scheme viability will

have an important role. To ensure this is transparent, however, any gain identified will

need to be tightly defined (e.g. in-kind provision of infrastructure, modal switch

measures) and necessary for the development to be acceptable. This is particularly

important when considering edge-of-centre sites whose ability to achieve high levels

of connection and integration with the existing centre could be critical to their

acceptability. This report seeks to identify potential contributions at this stage, any

detailed analysis will need to follow.

6.17 The overall conclusions drawn from this assessment will provide a measure of a site’s

overall suitability and appropriateness as a retail development opportunity.

Site Assessment

6.18 The results of the assessment process are presented on a site-by-site basis in the

proformas included in Appendix E. Commentary is provided on each site’s performance

against the indicators outlined above, and conclusions on overall sequential

acceptability are drawn. Potential retail development locations have been assessed on

a town-by-town basis for Neath, Port Talbot, Pontardawe and Glynneath. The key

headlines from the assessment process are presented below.

Neath

6.19 Of the three sites assessed in Neath, the town centre regeneration area site should be

given clear preference in terms of retail development. It lies within the town centre

boundary and there is significant potential within this area to redevelop existing

floorspace and provide net additional convenience and comparison goods floorspace,



alongside further main town centre uses such as Class A3 food and drink and Class D

leisure uses.

6.20 Like other similar town centre sites, redevelopment of this area is unlikely to be

straightforward, and is likely to require the assistance of the public sector in order to assist

with delivery. As a consequence, this should be taken into account when the Council is

faced with other applications for retail development outside of the town centre.

Opportunities should be taken to re-accommodate existing retailers in this area within

the redevelopment scheme and it should be an aspiration to try and provide both

convenience as well as comparison goods floorspace.

6.21 We consider that the town centre regeneration area is the most appropriate location for

the Council to pursue the increase in Neath’s comparison goods market share as set out

in the previous chapter and there is likely to be sufficient physical capacity within this

area to accommodate the short to medium term quantitative capacity identified.

Overall, we recommend that the Council identifies the town centre regeneration area

as the key retail development site within Neath within the LDP and a sequentially

preferable location for convenience, comparison and food & drink land uses.

6.22 In relation to the other two sites, the Milland Road regeneration area is no doubt an

important area for improvement in the town, although we have found that it has a

number of shortcomings as a retail development area. The regeneration area is

physically separated from the town centre and the majority of its area is a significant

travelling distance from the core shopping area. As a consequence, retail floorspace at

Milland Road is likely to act as a stand-alone shopping destination and is therefore not a

preferred retail development area for the LDP. If any retail development is to be brought

forward in this area, we recommend that it is small scale or of a type which is

complementary to the town centre offer such as bulky comparison goods floorspace.

6.23 The final site assessed in Neath is land adjacent to the Tesco supermarket at Neath

Abbey. This is a clear out of centre site and separated by some distance from Neath

town centre and the district centre at Skewen. Retail development on this site could

come in a number of forms, including an extension to the Tesco store, or additional

stand-alone retail warehouse space. Given its location, we do not recommend that the

Council support unrestricted retail floorspace in this area and instead consider whether it

has the potential to accommodate bulky comparison goods retail floorspace which



cannot be accommodated within the town centre and which is complementary to the

role and function of the central area of Neath.

Port Talbot

6.24 Within Port Talbot two areas have been assessed: the Glanafan School site on the edge

of the town centre and an area of land at Port Talbot Docks (Harbourside).

6.25 The Glanafan School site is, in our view, an appropriate retail/mixed use development

site which can expand the breadth of uses within the central area of Port Talbot. We

understand that the education use will cease in the near future and therefore this site will

become available. The main issue surrounding the school is not whether it should be

allocated for re-use, but whether the existing school building at the front of the site

should be kept and re-used as part of any redevelopment scheme. This building is not

listed and is not within a Conservation Area, but nevertheless has some attractive

attributes.

6.26 In order to provide large modern retail units on this site, then the frontage of the school

building is likely to have to be demolished. If it is not, then the site remains an attractive

redevelopment site, but one which is likely to be orientated towards a wider mix of uses

with less prime retail space. Whichever route is pursued, we recommend that the

Council should allocate this site for re-use and redevelopment within the LDP and

identify its potential for a mixture of town centre uses such as Class A1, A2 and A3 retail

and leisure uses (alongside the potential for residential and Class B1 accommodation).

6.27 The Port Talbot Docks area (Harbourside) has a history of retail land use proposals,

including a proposal in recent years to relocate (and expand) the Tesco store from its

current location within the town centre. That proposal was resisted by the Council on

the basis of the impact on the town centre and the stand-alone location of this area.

Having undertaken our own analysis we would support these conclusions and find that

unrestricted convenience and comparison goods floorspace in this location is likely to

have an adverse impact upon the health of Port Talbot town centre, with the lack of

opportunity for linked trips and spin-off benefits associated with any store in this location.

If the Council wish to pursue retail development in the docks area, we would

recommend that it is restricted to bulky comparison goods floorspace, so long as it

passes the sequential approach to site selection and is complementary to the role and

function of Port Talbot town centre.



Pontardawe

6.28 No sites have been identified for assessment in Pontardawe and it should be noted that

a commitment for a large amount of unrestricted floorspace at the former Tinplate Works

in the town has now lapsed. As shown by our quantitative assessment, even without this

former commitment there is no potential for further surplus comparison goods floorspace

capacity up to 2026 unless the town is able to increase its market share. Should further

sites/locations for retail development be identified then we recommend that further

analysis is carried out to identify the effects of planning for an increase in the town’s

market share, particularly on the future health of Pontardawe town centre.

Glynneath

6.29 Within previous research undertaken for the Council, a need for additional convenience

goods floorspace within Glynneath has been identified. The town suffers from large

levels of leakage of convenience shopping trips and an opportunity has been identified

to reduce this leakage via a new foodstore. This study has also considered the potential

for additional convenience goods floorspace and has reached similar conclusions to the

previous research.

6.30 If the Council wishes to pursue an approach which provides a new foodstore in

Glynneath, consideration must be given to an appropriate location for this new

floorspace. Our assessment has considered a large area of land to the south of Park

Avenue and has concluded that the north-eastern part of this area is the most

appropriate location for a new modest sized foodstore, as it will be placed in close

proximity to the existing defined centre in Glynneath and thus has the potential to

benefit the centre via linked trips and spin-off benefits. Other locations in the town,

which are further away from the defined centre, are less likely to provide these positive

effects and could well compete with the defined centre. Therefore, should it wish to

pursue a strategy to provide a new foodstore within Glynneath, we would recommend

that the Council considers identifying the north-eastern part of the Park Avenue site for a

foodstore, including convenience retail floorspace and an ancillary level of comparison

goods floorspace.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Summary, Conclusions & Policy Options


7. Conclusions & Policy Recommendations

7.1 This report has been prepared by GVA on the instructions of NPTCBC to prepare a retail

study to provide it with essential background information for the emerging Local

Development Plan (LDP). The LDP is currently under preparation and the

recommendations in this report will feed into that process. It is anticipated that the

Deposit LDP will be issued for public consultation in August 2013. This county-wide retail

study was commissioned to provide a robust evidence base for the Deposit Plan.

7.2 The context to the report was established through consideration of current retail trends

and the retail planning policy context at the national and local levels. The health and

performance of the three main town centres of Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe was

assessed, and an analysis of the qualitative and quantitative need for additional retail

floorspace was undertaken. Following on from this, 6 potential redevelopment sites were

assessed for their ability and suitability to deliver new retail floorspace over the plan

period.

7.3 The key findings of the study are summarised below.

Town Centre Assessments

Neath and Port Talbot are the dominant town centres in the County Borough and both

have an identifiable ‘shopping’ function. Vacancy rates are low in both centres and

both clearly benefit from the presence of food superstores within / adjacent to the

primary retail areas. The regeneration strategies implemented by the Council have

clearly improved the centres and this work will continue. The household survey

identified a lack of leisure use of both towns, and a need to increase the choice /

range of multiple retailers present.

Pontardawe serves a more local catchment and its performance is assisted by its retail

park offer. The town centre environment has been greatly improved by the recent

public realm works.

Overall, the three main towns are considered to be performing relatively well but

there is room for improvement to ensure they continue to compete with similar centres

in the wider region and retain, and potentially increase, their market shares for non-



food retail. The role that new retail floorspace can play in this is considered in the

following sections.

Retail Need Assessment

Neath – the town retains a high level of convenience goods expenditure, and whilst

the Morrisons store in the town centre performs well, the out of centre Tesco at Neath

Abbey is the dominant store. The new foodstore within the Coed Darcy development

will add to choice and competition in the Neath area and, whilst primarily meeting

the needs of the urban village, is also likely to reduce leakage of convenience goods

expenditure to Swansea and Port Talbot. For comparison goods, Neath has the

strongest catchment in the County Borough but does suffer from extensive leakage to

Swansea. The quantitative assessment did not identify any capacity for further

convenience goods floorspace, particularly given existing commitments and the

potential for a new foodstore at Glynneath. In terms of comparison goods provision,

existing commitments will limit the potential for additional floorspace, assuming market

shares remain constant. If market shares are increased, as is likely if the town centre

scheme is brought forward, then capacity for up to 7,300sq.m. of additional

floorspace was identified at 2026 – it must be noted though that the location and

type of retail provision secured for the scheme will be key if the uplift in market shares

is to be delivered. In terms of bulky goods floorspace capacity, an expenditure

surplus of £4.1m was identified at 2026.

Port Talbot – similarly to Neath, Port Talbot retains a large proportion of convenience

goods expenditure, with the Morrisons at Baglan Moors Retail Park being the dominant

store, with the town centre Tesco store also performing well. The centre suffers from

high levels of comparison goods leakage to Swansea, Bridgend and Cardiff. A

constant market share approach was considered appropriate for Port Talbot given

the level of existing commitments and no short to medium term capacity for

additional convenience goods floorspace was identified. In terms of comparison and

bulky goods, capacity was identified for 1,200sq.m. (including 600sq.m. bulky goods)

by 2026.

Pontardawe – convenience goods expenditure leakage was identified to Ammanford

and Swansea, and the centre suffers from very low levels of comparison goods

expenditure leakage. No additional capacity for convenience or comparison goods

was identified.



Glynneath – the capacity for additional convenience goods floorspace was assessed

for Glynneath in follow-up to recent work for the centre commissioned by NPTCBC.

This identified capacity for around 660sq.m. net of additional convenience goods

floorspace, but this will need to be located within or immediately adjacent to the

existing defined centre.

Neath and Port Talbot exert an influence over each others’ catchment areas and this

has been carefully considered as part of the findings of this proposal including the

need to allocate new floorspace within the two towns.

Site Assessment

The Neath Town Centre Regeneration Scheme should be given clear preference as a

retail development site, although the future retail offer will need to be carefully

selected if it is to contribute to a growth in the centre’s market share. The scheme

may also offer the potential to relocate existing A1 operators to free retail space for

leisure / food and drink units to be introduced within the primary retail core. We

recommend that the allocation reinforces the need for this area to accommodate all

or a large majority of the net additional comparison and convenience goods

floorspace in Neath, along with the potential for other main town centre uses such as

A2 and A3 retail floorspace and leisure uses.

In Port Talbot, the site of the former Glanafan School was considered most suitable for

new retail / mixed use development and the allocation should highlight suitability of

the site to accommodate a range of Class A retail Class D leisure uses.

In Glynneath, the Park Avenue site identified through the LDP process is considered

most suitable for the development of a new foodstore to serve the local catchment,

and it is recommended that this is located in or immediately adjacent to the existing

defined centre. The allocation should state that the foodstore should sell primarily

convenience goods, with a smaller allocation of comparison goods floorspace.

Policy Recommendations

7.4 In light of the findings of this study, we make the following retail planning policy

recommendations:



The LDP should seek to protect the vitality and viability of the three main towns by

including criteria based policies to protect the existing primary frontages and ensure

any new uses introduced complement the current function of the towns and assist in

maintaining or increasing existing market shares;

The town centre boundary for Neath should be expanded to include the existing

Morrisons store given its clear role within the centre;

Out of centre retail development will need to be resisted unless bulky goods

floorspace is proposed, but the retail planning policy tests will need to be met;

The Neath Town Centre Regeneration Scheme, Glanafan School in Port Talbot and

Land at Park Avenue, Glynneath should be allocated as potential retail development

sites.

Appendix E

Retail Site Assessment: Site Proformas


October 2012

Glanafon School, Port Talbot

Site Audit

Location

The site is located directly adjacent to the south

eastern corner of the defined town centre of Port

Talbot. The school is sited to the eastern side of

Station Road and fronts onto the retail units on the

opposite side of Station Road.

The school site separates the primary retail frontage

of Station Road and effectively acts as a barrier to

the continuous retail frontage of this street.

The school extends back to the east and includes

the school yard and servicing areas. The main

school building itself is an attractive red brick

structure with well maintained boundary hedges

and trees lining Station Road. The building is not

understood to be listed and is owned by Neath Port

Talbot Council.

To the east, the site is bordered by the service lane and gardens of the residential properties of Ty Draw

Street.

The site lies in a Zone C1 Flood Risk area as identified on the TAN 15 DAM’s.

Size Approximately 0.8 hectares

Local Plan Status

White land within the urban boundary, directly adjoining the primary retail frontage of Port Talbot

town centre.

Location

Classification

Edge-of-centre location directly adjacent to primary

retail frontage of the town centre.

Movement &

Linkage

� Highly accessible town centre location that is directly related to the primary retail area and

forms an integral part of the existing town centre

area.

� Pedestrian linkages to the site already exist as shoppers and town centre users need to pass the

site in order to travel around the defined town

centre area.

� Highly accessible location by rail and bus given its town centre location and proximity to bus and rail

stations.

Integration

� Forms an integral part of the town centre.

� May be difficult to achieve vehicular access to the site for high volumes of traffic given that

Station Road is pedestrianised and the service

lanes to the rear are fairly narrow and constrained.

Ty Draw Place to the south is the likely best source

of access into the site.

Future Status

� The Pre-Deposit LDP (September 2011) does not contain any specific allocations or proposals for

this site.

� It is understood that the site has not been promoted as a candidate site for alternative use

and will therefore likely continue to be treated as

white land within the urban boundary in the

forthcoming Deposit LDP.

� The retail topic paper issued in September 2011 alongside the Pre-Deposit LDP confirms that Glan Afan Comprehensive school is proposed for

closure within the Strategic Schools Improvement

Programme. It is likely that over the course of the

LDP that the site will, at least in part, be

redeveloped for town centre uses including retail

and leisure facilities.

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable Site lies directly adjacent to the town centre and primary retail areas of Port Talbot and is therefore

considered to be suitable for retail development and/or commercial development.

Viable Likely to be viable overall, but may be influenced by the need to retain the attractive main school

house building fronting Station Road.

Available Site understood to be in a single ownership, which would facilitate redevelopment of the site in the

short to medium term, subject to timescales associated with the School Improvement Programme.

Conclusions Suitable: Yes Viable: Yes Available: Yes

Additional Considerations

Regeneration

The site provides an opportunity to enhance the overall offer of Port Talbot town centre in an edge of centre location

directly adjacent to the primary retail area of the town. The site is fully integrated with the centre and forms part of the

main pedestrianised shopping area within the town and benefits from frontage onto the primary retail street of Station

Road. The site could therefore be considered to be suitable for retail uses as part of a modest expansion of the town

centre.

The site is understood to be earmarked for closure as part of the Strategic Schools Improvement Programme and has

been identified as being suitable for release to provide economic regeneration of Port Talbot town centre and the Port

Talbot Docks area.

Redevelopment will be significantly influenced by any requirement to retain the main school building on Station Road.

It is an attractive building (particularly its façade) that contributes to the Victorian townscape of this part of the town

centre environment, although the building is not statutorily listed and is not located within a conservation area. If this

building is to be retained then it is unlikely to lend itself very easily to a Class A1 retail use and, instead, Class A3, leisure

or office uses should be considered. In addition, should the main school building be retained then this could constrain

the commercial attractiveness of the remainder of the site for retail development, although a high quality public realm

scheme could enhance the setting of the main school building and create an attractive courtyard-style mixed use

development including other retail, commercial, leisure and residential uses.

A large scale retail unit(s) is only likely to be possible where the main school building is removed and, on this basis, may

be acceptable in principle, although careful consideration would need to be given to site configuration and access

arrangements in order to ensure that there would be no detrimental impacts on highways safety or amenities of the neighbouring residential properties. A large scale supermarket use does not appear to be appropriate for this site.

In terms of the regeneration factors identified for this appraisal, the site performs as follows:

� Vitality & Viability – site is well integrated with the core town centre area and retail development would therefore

have a positive impact upon the town centre.

� Transportation and Movement – the site is located equi-distant between the core town centre area and the bus and railway stations and is therefore considered to be well served in terms of public transport and pedestrian connectivity.

Retail development of the site would likely lead to an increase in movement between these two locations and the

town centre. Careful consideration will need to be given to servicing and parking arrangements (particularly for any

food related uses) given the relatively constrained highway arrangements and surrounding residential properties.

� Integration – site is very well integrated with the town centre and redevelopment can potentially act as a modest

extension to the centre.

Retail Policy Tests

Site is suitable for retail development (possibly alongside other land uses). Redevelopment of this site also appears to

be viable, although the retention of the main school building will affect overall scheme costs. Availability will obviously

depend upon the Council’s School Improvement Programme.


October 2012

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could achieve improved town centre environment by contributing towards wider

townscape enhancements and public realm works within the town centre.

Deliverability & Timescales

The site is currently occupied by a school and timescales will therefore be dictated by the School Improvement

Programme.

Conclusions

Edge of centre site that directly adjoins the core retail area of Port Talbot town centre. Retail development of the site is

therefore likely to be considered acceptable, providing it would not adversely impact upon the existing centre. The

attractive main school building (and its contribution towards the town centre environment) will need to be taken into

account as part of any redevelopment proposals, as well as servicing and parking arrangements for any retail

development of the site. The school is earmarked for closure as part of the School Improvement Programme and should

therefore be available. Overall retail development at site is likely to have a beneficial impact on the town centre by

enhancing the offer of the town centre at a well integrated site.

Land adjacent to Tesco, Neath Abbey

Site Audit

Location

The site comprises land to the west of the existing

Tesco store at Neath Abbey Road, which is

approximately 2.5km to the west of the town centre of

Neath and approximately 1km to the east of the

District Centre of Skewen.

The site lies to the south of Neath Abbey Road and

comprises a maintenance and goods vehicle parking

yard operated by NPT to the southern part of the site.

Two industrial units are located to the northern part of

the site.

The Tesco store itself operates as a 24 hour out of

centre store with a petrol filling station. The site would

offer potential for Tesco to expand their store at this

location and/or provide other retail uses.

The site is located within a Zone B Flood Risk Area on the TAN15 DAM’s.


Local Plan

Status White land within the urban boundary.

Location

Classification

Out of centre location, approximately 2.5km to the

west of Neath town centre and 1km to the east of

Skewen District Centre. The adjacent Tesco store is not

classified as being within any district centre.

Movement &

Linkage

� Separated from the town centre of Neath by

substantial highway and rail infrastructure.

� Poor pedestrian linkages between town centre of Neath and site. Pedestrian links to Skewen District

Centre are less constrained, but still approximately

1km in distance with little likelihood of linked trips.

� Roundabouts, the A465, railway line and river all act

as physical barrier to pedestrian movements to and

from Neath town centre.

� The site is also relatively poorly served in terms of public transport links and is not within walking

distance of either Neath or Skewen railway stations.

Integration

� Not connected with the town centre in any way

and over 1km from Skewen district centre.

� Site operates as a stand alone location well divorced from the town centre and surrounding

area, as well as the exiting retail provision within

Skewen district centre.

� It will not be possible to achieve any direct pedestrian linkage with the town centre due to the

distance from the centre and the physical barriers

that exist.

Future Status

� Pre Deposit LDP (September 2011) does not contain

specific land use allocation for this site.

� There is therefore no consideration of the future use of this site until the Deposit LDP is published later this

year. However, the plan does state that, in terms of

future retail provision, ‘there is potential for bulky

goods retail at Neath Abbey Road.’

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable

Site is located in an out of centre location and acts as a stand-alone location. Acceptability under

the sequential approach will be dependant on the type of proposals brought forward for this site

and the suitability of potential development sites in and around Neath town centre.

Viable Development is likely to be viable, but existing occupiers will need to be accommodated

elsewhere.

Available

Site understood to be in single interest control and ownership of the Council. Redevelopment could

therefore be achieved relatively swiftly in the short to medium term, subject to satisfactory

relocation of existing users.

Conclusions Suitable: No Viable: Yes Available: Yes


Regeneration

The site represents an out of centre location, some considerable distance from both Neath town centre and Skewen

District Centre. Unrestricted retail development at this location would therefore be likely to have an adverse impact on

these existing centres and could potentially hinder and adversely impact upon the proposed Neath town centre retail

led regeneration proposals.


� Vitality & Viability – site is disconnected from both Neath town centre and Skewen District Centre with no connectivity

to either centre. Further unrestricted retail development at the site would therefore likely have a negative impact upon both the town and district centres, with the site acting as a single trip destination with limited scope for linked

trips.

� Transportation and Movement – site is relatively divorced from both Skewen and Neath train stations and too far from either station to be considered to be within walking distance. The site lies directly adjacent to Neath Abbey Road

which is well served by bus movements. However, it is likely that the predominant mode of transport would be via

private car to this site.

� Integration – site is isolated and unable to be satisfactorily integrated with the town centre environment. Improvement measures could be undertaken, but these are unlikely to achieve the level of integration with the town

centre required in order for retail development at the site to be acceptable in terms of impact on town centre.

Retail Policy Tests

Site could be made available subject to the relocation of existing uses and there is no suggestion that retail

development would not be viable. However, the site is not considered to be suitable for unrestricted retail

development due to the likelihood of an adverse impact on the existing town centre of Neath and district centre of

Skewen.

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could achieve improved integration of the site with the town and district centres by

improving public access, enhancing public transport accessibility and pedestrian linkages with the town centre.

However, the distances involved are considered to be particularly excessive and prohibitive to providing meaningful

improvements.


Availability of this site will be dependant on the ability to relocate existing occupiers, although we understand that this

will be assisted by the site being in the control of the Council.

Opportunity

The emerging Pre-Deposit LDP (September 2011) notes that there is potential for bulky goods retail at Neath Abbey

Road. In our opinion, acceptability of even restricted retail sales in this location will be dependant on the availability

and suitability of alternative more central sites and compatibility with the function of Neath town centre.

Conclusions

Out of centre site that would not be suitable for unrestricted retail development, due to the likely detrimental impact that such development would have on the vitality and viability of the town centre of Neath and District centre of

Skewen. The site is too far away from either centre so as to be able to encourage linked trips and would therefore acts

a destination location in its own right, to the detriment of the existing centres. Bulky good retail may be acceptable if

no sequentially preferable sites exist and they can be proven to be complementary to the role and function of Neath

town centre.


October 2012

Neath Town Centre Regeneration Area

Site Audit

Location

The site comprises a variety of land uses and buildings that are located to the south east of Neath town centre. The northern part of the site (to the north of Fairfield Way) comprises the Tesco supermarket and Wilkinson retail units at ground floor with two levels of multi storage car parking above. Directly to the south of Fairfield Way lies the Neath Magistrate Court and surface level car park which is situated to the east of the court building. A number of terraced residential properties are located within the site, fronting on to Water Street, immediately to the south of the magistrates court.

The newly constructed Civic Offices lie immediately to the south west of the site, which include new public realm improvements and highway layout. The town centre conservation area is located to the west, which includes the nearby Victorian Gardens public park.


Local Plan Status

The Tesco and Wilkinson stores to the north of the site are identified as being within the core retail area of Neath town centre.

The remaining land to the southern part of the site is identified as an area of Financial and Professional uses adjacent to the town centre.

The site lies directly adjacent to the Neath town centre Conservation Area (which is situated to the west).

Location

Classification

The northern part of the site is located within the defined town centre and forms part of the primary retail frontage.

The part of the site to the south of Tesco is directly adjacent to the town centre and therefore considered to be edge-of-centre.

Movement &

Linkage

� Well connected with the town centre and forms an integral part of the core retail area to the northern part of the site.

� Within close proximity to the town centre bus station and within walking distance to the train station.

� Located adjacent to the new Civic Centre which increases footfall in this area.

Integration

� Site forms an integral part of the town centre environment with direct links to pedestrian routes and all shopping areas within the town centre.

Future Status

� The retail section of the Pre-Deposit LDP (September 2011) identifies that ‘the proposed

town centre redevelopment scheme aims to

regenerate the centre by complimenting the

traditional shopping streets and their specialist

shops and leisure offer with a retail led mixed-use

development which will include residential units, a

café quarter, a library/museum and an additional

300 car parking spaces.’ The Pre-Deposit Plan does not specifically indicate the extent or location of the town centre redevelopment

scheme, but it is understood to relate to this site.

� The LDP Retail Topic Paper (September 2011) identifies that there are two regeneration schemes proposed for Neath which should help to strengthen its role as a Town Centre. The topic paper states the following in respect of the Water Street site and the site of the former Civic Centre (to which this appraisal relates): ‘proposed for mixed use development including a car park, retail and community uses. An additional 22,000sqft of retail floorspace is proposed which will include the replacement of Boots, Tesco and Wilkinson and the relocation of further retail units within the Neath Town Centre. There is a longer term aspiration for a café quarter which will improve the night time economy by providing a wider range of good quality eating and drinking establishments.’

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable

Part of the site lies within the defined retail core of the town centre, with the remainder being directly adjacent to the defined centre. Retail development of this area would therefore be suitable from a policy perspective and enhance the viability and vitality of the town centre environment, both in terms of improved retail offer and townscape improvements.

Viable Redevelopment of site is likely to be viable overall, but existing occupiers, and need for relocation could complicate this.

Available

Site is understood to comprise a variety of landownership which would require relocation of these occupiers in order to free the site for development. Therefore site may not be available for immediate redevelopment, although given the importance of this site to the future of the town centre sufficient time should be given for site assembly and phased redevelopment.

Conclusions Suitable: Yes Viable: Yes, subject to

relocations

Available: in the short to

medium term, depending on

extent of site area


Regeneration

The site would provide significant enhancement of the town centre environment at a key location that is well connected with the core retail area of Neath town centre. Part of the site lies within the defined town centre, with the remainder of the site comprising a direct extension of the town centre area. Integration with the town centre is therefore excellent, with retail development at the site offering the opportunity to improve the retail offer of the town centre and enhance the visual appearance and general environment of the town centre.

Opportunities exist for a mix of retail led uses at the site, which build upon the interface of the site between the core retail area and the newly constructed civic centre. In terms of the regeneration factors identified for this appraisal, the site performs as follows:

� Vitality & Viability – site forms an integral part of the core retail area of Neath town centre. Retail development at the site would therefore improve the offer of the town centre and help to increase movements between this part of the town centre and the wider shopping streets.

� Transportation and Movement – site is located within close proximity to town centre bus station and within walking distance of the train station. Retail development at the site has the potential to include new town centre parking provision which would enable increased movements between the site and the wider town centre.

� Integration – site is fully integrated with the core retail area of the town centre and would provide an opportunity to improve linkages and integration of the new civic centre with the retail core of the town centre.

Retail Policy Tests

Site represents a suitable town centre location that would enhance the town centre retail offer. Site may not be immediately available (due to the number of land ownership interests and need to secure alternative provision for a number of key existing occupiers) but time should be set aside in the planning process for this site to come forwaard. The site is likely to be viable from a development perspective, subject to agreeing land ownership issues.


October 2012

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could achieve improved integration of the site with the wider town centre by improving public access, particularly to the new civic centre. There will also be opportunities to improve the town centre environment by introducing new public realm enhancements.


The site is currently occupied by a range of civic, retail and residential uses and therefore likely to be unavailable in the very short term as current occupiers will need to be relocated and the site cleared. However, there is no reason to discount this as a suitable short to medium term development opportunity.

Opportunity

The emerging LDP identifies that the Neath town centre redevelopment scheme on this site will regenerate the centre by providing a retail led mixed use development scheme. The site therefore provides the opportunity for a mix of land uses that will be anchored by new retail floorpspace.

Conclusions

A town centre location that forms an integral part of the town centre environment. Retail led redevelopment will have a positive impact on the vitality and viability of the town centre by improving both the retail offer and townscape of the town centre. However, existing occupiers and number of land ownership interests will likely complicate delivery and timescales. Careful consideration will also need to be given to the requirements of existing occupiers and efforts should be made to try and re-accommodate as many as possible as part of the redevelopment.


October 2012

Milland Road Regeneration Area, Neath

Site Audit

Location

This area lies to the west of Neath town centre, lying to the opposite side of the Swansea to Paddington mainline railway. The area comprises a range of occupied and vacant industrial units. The site also includes an electricity sub station and large builders merchants. There is also a large surface level car park within the south-eastern part of the site.

The entire site is also identified as falling within a Zone C2 Flood risk area.

Size Approximately 14 hectares in total.

Local Plan Status White land within the urban boundary.

Location

Classification

Whilst some parts of this site may lie in an edge-of-centre location ‘as the crow flies’, this site is separated from the town centre by the railway line and which acts as a physical barrier. Therefore, this site is likely to act as an stand alone out of centre site.

Movement &

Linkage

� Separated from the town centre by the mainline railway line.

� Poor pedestrian linkages between town centre and site with the railway line acting as a physical barrier to pedestrian movements.

� Highly accessible location by rail, with a footbridge linking the site and the railway station to the town centre.

Integration

� Disconnected from town centre by railway line, although a visual link to the centre exists to the north.

� Pedestrianised links via railway bridge and underpass below the railway at Commercial Street exist. However, these routes are very narrow for pedestrians and are relatively unsafe due to the highway network and use of roads by vehicular traffic.

Future Status

The Pre-Deposit LDP (September 2011) identifies Milland Road as an urban regeneration scheme, which would revitalise the area and enable it to reach its full potential. This mixed-use development opportunity is identified as including an element of both residential and offices, providing canal-side living in the form of flats and apartments and employment opportunities located close to public transport hubs. The retail topic paper also published in September 2011 confirms that a draft regeneration strategy report for the Canal Green area was published in September 2009 on behalf of Neath Port Talbot Council and the Welsh Government. The preferred option for the area is for mixed use development comprising residential commercial, leisure, educational and employment uses.

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable

This site is not a preferred site for retail development due to the separation from the town centre and the poor physical links. Acceptability of retail development, as part of a wider mix of uses, will be dependant on availability of sequentially preferable sites within or closer to the edge of Neath town centre, and whether retail uses will be complementary to the core retail area.

Viable

There is no obvious reason to suggest that retail development schemes in this area will not be viable, although the need to relocate existing occupiers could have an impact on overall development costs. Requirements for infrastructure works to connect with town centre and address flood risk issues, could also have an impact on development costs.

Available

The area is understood to comprise a number of land ownerships and various occupiers. Redevelopment would require the relocation of these occupiers in order to free up part or all of the site for development. Therefore entire site is unlikely to be available in short term.

Conclusions Suitable: unlikely to be suitable

for unrestricted retail

floorspace

Viable: Yes Available: Unlikely in short term


Regeneration

Despite being relatively close to the defined town centre of Neath, the site lies on the opposite side of the main line railway and is segregated from the town centre area. The site is therefore poorly integrated with the town centre due to the highways arrangement and lack of pedestrian linkages.

Although retail development at the site could potentially bring benefits (widen choice and competition, create employment opportunities), without the reconfiguration of the highway network and pedestrian linkages integration with the town centre will be very difficult to achieve. Furthermore, opportunities exist for alternative mixed use residential led redevelopment of the site that would maximise the site’s proximity to the train station and river setting, thereby complementing the town centre.


� Vitality & Viability – site is disconnected from the core town centre area with the railway line and highway network acting as physical barriers that prevent full integration. Retail development at the site would therefore likely have a negative impact upon the town centre with there being a risk that the site would act as a single trip destination with limited scope for linked trips being undertaken to the town centre.

� Transportation and Movement – site is located relatively close to Neath town centre, although accessibility between these two locations is poor. Whilst any retail development at the site would be accessible by rail, its development would be unlikely to lead to any increased movement between the station and the town centre.

� Integration – the site is poorly integrated with the town centre and it is unlikely that retail development at this location would be able to secure the improvements required in order to make such development acceptable from a connectivity perspective.

Retail Policy Tests

Site is unlikely to be available in its entirety in the short to medium term although there is no obvious reason to suggest that it is not viable for retail development. Site is considered to be unsuitable for unrestricted retail development due to lack of integration with the town centre.

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could help to achieve improved integration of the site with the town centre. However, it is not considered that sufficient improvements could be made for the site to be fully integrated with the centre.


The site is currently occupied by a large number of commercial operations and therefore unavailable in the short term as current occupiers will need to be relocated and the site cleared.

Opportunity

The emerging LDP identifies the site as an urban regeneration scheme which would include residential and employment uses that would make the most of the excellent transport links and riverside location. Proximity to the train station would be a significant benefit for the development of both employment and residential generating uses.

Conclusions

Whilst some parts of this site may be classified as edge of centre, this area displays the characteristics of an out of centre location, due to lack of integration with the town centre environment. The range and number of existing occupiers will likely complicate delivery and timescales. Retail development at site is likely to have a detrimental impact on the vitality and viability of the town centre due to a lack of opportunities to effectively integrate within the existing centre and encourage linked trips.


October 2012

Land off Park Avenue, Glynneath

Site Audit

Location

The site is positioned to the south of Glynneath and is

located to the rear of the residential properties of

Park Avenue.

The site comprises of undeveloped land that is

essentially split into two distinct parts. The northern

part of the site comprises the smaller site area. This is

understood to consist of open fields that border the

rear of the houses off Park Avenue. An old canal

route runs through the site in an east to west

direction to the south of the fields. This divides the

site from the southern parcel of land.

The land is understood to be owned variously by

Aberpergwm Estates, the Welsh Government and

Neath Port Talbot CBC. Part of the site is classified as

being within Zone C1 and /or Zone C2 Flood risk

area.

Size Approximately 10 hectares

Local Plan Status

The majority of the site comprises white land within

the urban boundary, with a large element allocated

for housing development under Policy H1/17 of the

adopted UDP. The south eastern parcel of land, to

the east of the dual carriageway lies beyond the

defined settlement limits and is classed as land

within the countryside.

Location

Classification

The north-eastern part of the site is likely to be

classified as an edge of centre location, subject to

improved linkages with the nearby defined centre.

The northern field (located to the south of Park

Avenue) is located immediately adjacent to the

western perimeter of the defined Glyn Neath District

Centre in the adopted UDP (see plan opposite).

However, the land to the south is somewhat further

removed from the district centre and is a clear out

of centre location.

Movement &

Linkage

� The northern part of the site can be accessed

directly from High Street to the northern part of the

site. The northern part of the site can therefore be

linked to the district centre and wider area, with

the opportunity to provide increased linkages.

� Southern part of the site is relatively poorly served

in terms of movement and linkages with the wider

area, with the protected canal route acting as

barrier to linkage.

Integration

� The northern parcel of land has potential to be

integrated with the town centre to the east.

� However, the remainder of land to the south of

the site will be disconnected from the town centre

by the access track that runs east to west and the

vegetation / trees that run along this access track.

Future Status

The Pre-Deposit LDP (September 2011) states specifically that ‘growth in Glynneath will focus on

retail-led housing development at Park Avenue while additional growth will be promoted in the

Neath Valley’. The Pre-Deposit plan goes on to identify that ‘a new food superstore together with

100 houses has been proposed at the Park Avenue site in Glynneath. This scheme could help

anchor the area's district centre by providing additional choice and jobs for the Upper Neath Valley

communities.’ Additionally, the site is identified in the Neath Valleys Regeneration Strategy (July

2011) as an opportunity for providing new retail and residential development.

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable

Suitability for retail development dependant on availability of sequentially preferable sites. Only the

northern part of the site (i.e. the fields to the north of the old canal route) could be considered

suitable for retail development as this area is relatively well connected to town centre (whereas

land to the south is not)

Viable Likely to be viable given that the site is undeveloped land.

Available Site understood to be in single interest control and could therefore be developed in the short to

medium term.

Conclusions Suitable: Partially (Northern

Land)

Viable: Yes Available: Yes


Regeneration

The site could provide an opportunity to incorporate retail development as part of a comprehensive mixed use

redevelopment of the entire site. The retail element of any mixed use development will need to be located to the

north-eastern part of the site and provide connection and integration with the existing district centre of Glynneath. The

north-eastern part of the site (comprising the open fields) represents an edge-of centre location that could be linked

via pedestrian linkages along High Street to the existing centre.

Retail development of the site could potentially help to enhance the retail offer of the town and help to retain

expenditure within the catchment, where large scale retail provision is currently lacking. Retail development of the

northern part of the site could form part of a mixed use redevelopment scheme which seeks to integrate the site with

the exiting district centre.


� Vitality & Viability – the northern part of the site is located within close proximity to the district centre is disconnected

from the core town centre area with a number of physical barriers such as the highway network that prevent full

integration. Retail development at the site could therefore have a positive impact on the district centre by

enhancing the retail offer and encouraging linked trips between any new store and existing shopping areas.

� Transportation and Movement – northern part of the site can be accessed directly from High Street, which links with

the district centre immediately to the east. Retail development will likely rely upon car borne journeys due to the

relatively poor public transport links, but there is a potential opportunity to create linked trips with the wider district

centre area.

� Integration – site is located directly off High Street to the north, which links with the district centre. There is therefore an

opportunity to create integration between the site and the wider area. A number of potential pedestrian linkages

could be created from the northern part of the site to the existing district centre.

Retail Policy Tests

Site is available in the short term and development is likely to be viable, although issues of flood risk will need to b e

addressed. The north-eastern part of the site is likely to be suitable for retail development, depending upon the

availability of alternative sequentially preferable sites.

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could achieve improved integration of the site with the district centre by improving

public access and pedestrian linkages with the district centre, as well as improving public realm.


The site is currently vacant and likely to be available in the short term, subject to addressing technical issues associated

with site development such as highways, flood risk etc.

Opportunity

The emerging LDP identifies the site as a retail led housing development that will incorporate a new food superstore

and 100 houses which could help anchor the areas district centre. The site therefore offers an opportunity for a retail

led mixed use redevelopment scheme to enhance the vitality and viability of Glynneath.

Conclusions

North-eastern area of this site can be classified as an edge of centre location that could be suitable for, provided there

are no further sequentially preferable alternatives available. Vacant site which should ensure that the site can be

delivered in a viable manner in the short to medium term, dependent upon addressing technical issues associated with

site development. Retail development that integrates well with the existing district centre could provide the opportunity

to enhance the offer of the district centre and prevent leakage of retail expenditure.


October 2012

Land at Port Talbot Docks

Site Audit

Location

The site is positioned to the south of Cramic Way. It

comprises a number of individual sites including

Candidate Site PT102 (and land located to the south

east of the Candidate site submission area). Land to the

south west of Candidate Site PT102, to the south of Heol

Margam, is also included within this overall site

assessment.

As a whole, the site comprises a mix of ownerships and

land uses. Candidate site PT102 comprises of large

industrial units with various occupiers. The extent of

Candidate Site PT102 is demonstrated on the second

plan to the right. The land to the south east of this

candidate site, known as Towngate, comprises of

further industrial units and associated hard standing

areas that lie to the west of Port Talbot Parkway station.

The land to the south west of this overall area also

contains a number of industrial buildings and

associated hard standing areas that are currently

utilised by a variety of operators.

Candidate Site PT102 relates to the site that has

previously been refused planning permission to

accommodate the relocation of the existing town

centre Tesco store (Planning App Ref: A2008/023). This

application was refused on grounds of lack of need for

store, isolation from town centre and the development

acting as a one stop destination all to the detriment of

the town centre and Baglan Moors District Centre.

The site sits to the south of Port Talbot Town Centre and

is divorced from the town centre by Helibronn Way

(dual carriageway) and the PDR, as well as the main

Swansea to London Railway Line.

The site is located within a Zone C1 Flood Risk area, as

identified on the TAN15 DAM’s.

Size Approximately 7.2 hectares in total

Local Plan Status

The adopted Neath Port Talbot UDP identifies that the

site lies within the defined area known as ‘Port Talbot

Docks and Industrial Estate area’. The UDP states that

this area will be promoted as a focus for economic and

environmental regeneration and that it will be a growth

point within the County Borough. The UDP indicates that

the area will contain a variety of uses, including port

related industrial, commercial, offices, leisure, retail

(non-town centre) and housing.

The Council adopted the ‘Port Talbot Harbourside &

Town Centre Development Framework SPG’ in April

2011. This SPG provides guidance for the regeneration

of this site and the wider area for the period up to 2017.

The indicative masterplan within the SPG shows

Candidate Site PT102 identified for bulky goods

retailing, with the land to the east identified for office

(B1), hotel and food and drink (A3) uses. The Cuddy

land to the west is identified for residential

development.

Location

Classification

Whilst this site lies ‘as the crow flies’ reasonably close to

Port Talbot town centre, retail development in this

location will function as out of centre stand-alone uses.

The walking route to the town centre involves narrow

walkways and a bridge.

Movement &

Linkage

� Separated from the town centre by Helibron Way

and the mainline railway line which runs north/south

to the east of the site.

� Poor pedestrian linkages between town centre and

site. Railway line and A48 (Helibron Way) acts as

physical barrier to pedestrian movements.

� Pedestrian access to the town centre is via existing

footbridge over river to the north of the site. There is

also a link via a subway under the Peripheral

Distributor Road (PDR). However, functional

connections are poor in terms of connection and

continuity with town centre.

� Reasonable high accessible location by rail.

Integration

� Disconnected from town centre by highway network,

although visual link exists.

� Difficult to achieve any direct pedestrianised link with

town centre, even with the subway and rail bridge

connections. The route to the town centre from the

site would rely upon narrow walkways over a bridge,

beneath a subway, through a bus station beneath

another underpass to reach Aberavon Shopping

Centre at the south of the town centre.

Future Status

� Part of the overall site has been put forward as a

candidate site for retail development as part of the

emerging LDP process. This relates to the north

eastern part that has previously been subject to a

refused planning application for a new Tesco store.

� The Pre-Deposit Version of the LDP (September 2011)

identifies that the Harbourside area between the

Docks and the town centre will provide a waterside

gateway to the town from the M4. This mixed use

development will include housing, bulky goods retail

and car showrooms, employment, education and

waterside leisure and recreation.

Retail Policy Tests

Suitable

Not considered to be suitable for most types of retail development due to issues of integration with

the town centre and lack of connectivity. May be suitable for bulky goods retailing assuming there

are no more centrally located sites within or on the edge of the town centre (and subject to

improvements in pedestrian linkages) and these (restricted) retail uses perform a complementary

function.

Viable Likely to be viable overall, although relocation of existing occupiers may influence overall viability.

Available

Site understood to comprise a mixture of ownerships and land interests which may reduce the ability

to redevelop the site in the short to medium term.

Conclusions Suitable: No Viable: Yes Available: Yes

Regeneration

The site would provide an opportunity for retail development outside of and separated from the existing town centre

and would only be potentially acceptable if no other alternative sequentially preferable sites exist. Whilst the site is

relatively close to the town centre, it is considered to function as a stand-alone out of centre location which is poorly

integrated with the centre due to the highways (and railway) arrangement and suffers from a lack of pedestrian

linkages.

Although retail development at the site may offer some limited benefits (i.e. increase choice/competition, create

employment opportunities and potentially retain local expenditure depending on the type of retail floorspace

provided), without the reconfiguration of the highway network and pedestrian linkages, functional integration with the

town centre is very difficult to achieve. If retail floorspace is to be provided on this site then, then we would

recommend that this is limited to bulky goods retailing on the proviso that there are no sequentially preferable sites

within or on the edge of the town centre and bulky goods retail uses can be seen as complementary to the town

centre.


� Vitality & Viability – site is disconnected from the core town centre area with a number of physical barriers such as the

highway network that prevent full integration. Unrestricted retail development at the site would therefore likely have

a negative impact upon the town centre with there being a risk that the site would act as a single trip destination

with limited scope for linked trips being undertaken to the town centre.

� Transportation and Movement – site would likely act as a one stop destination with car borne journeys being

undertaken as the predominant mode of transport. Whilst any retail development at the site may be accessible by

rail, its development would be unlikely to lead to any increased movement between the station and the town centre

as movements would be away from the town centre.

� Integration – site is isolated and unable to be satisfactorily integrated with the town centre environment.

Improvement measures could be undertaken, but these are unlikely to achieve the level of integration with the town

centre required in order for retail development at the site to be acceptable in terms of impact on town centre.

Retail Policy Tests

Site is unsuitable for unrestricted retail development due to its isolated position and lack of opportunities for integration

with the town centre. Viability and availability will be dependant upon the scale of development and land ownerships

involved.

Planning Gain

Potential planning gain measures could achieve some limited improved integration of the site with the town centre by

improving pedestrian linkages with the town centre. However, it is considered unlikely that such measures would make

a significant material difference to connectivity.


The site is currently occupied by a range of commercial operations and therefore unavailable immediately. However,

subject to suitable relocation sites being found, this area may come forward for redevelopment in the short to medium

term.

Conclusions

The area is considered to act as a stand-alone out of centre location that is in an isolated position in terms of

connectivity with the town centre. Physical barriers, such as roads and the railway line, along with a lack of integration,

would likely to lead to the site acting as a retail destination in its own right with little scope for linked trips between the

site and town centre. Unrestricted retail development of the site would therefore likely create a detrimental impact on

the vitality and viability of the town centre.
