The Planning Policy Guidelines Issued by the
Government has the Objectives of: • Sustaining and enhancing the vitality and
viability of town centres• Focusing retail development in locations
where the proximity of business facilitates competition from which all consumers are able to benefit and maximising the opportunity to use means of transport other than a car
• Maintaining an efficient, competitive and innovative retail sector and
• Ensuring the availability of a wide range of shops, employment, services and facilities to which people have easy access by a choice of means of transport

Freestanding/ Isolated Store: located along a major traffic artery, without any competitive
retailers around

Part of a Business District: is a place of commerce in the city, which developed historically as the centre of trade in the city or town and
would have no pre format or structure-CBD: Main centre of commerce and trade in the city
-Sec BD: evolved with a period of time, with spread of population in the city -NBD: unplanned shopping area to serve the needs of the neighbourhood

Shopping Center and Mall Locations
AdvantagesAdvantages
• Design attracts shoppers
• Activities and anchor stores draw customers
• Ample parking• Unified image
DisadvantagesDisadvantages
• Expensive leases• Failure of common
promotion efforts• Lease restrictions• Anchor store
domination• Direct competitors

Steps Involved in Choosing a Retail Location
1 Market Identification in which to locate the store
2 Determining the mkt potential (DvsS)– Demographic features of the population– The characteristics of the household in
the area– Competition and compatibility– Laws and regulations– Trade Area analysis

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION DECISIONS

Secondary Zone
Fringe or Tertiary Zone

• Location decision is based upon:– Location Area: which attract higher level of
customers than others– Regions: which involve a larger section of the
country– Market area: a geographical sector containing
zones•Primary trading zone: which provides the major
customer base for the retail outlet (60-65%)•Secondary Zone: Which can be any distance
between 2-7 miles (under 20 min drive)•Fringe/ Tertiary zone: which will include those
who occasionally shop there as an alternative to shopping (upto 5 miles)
10
3 & 4: Identify Alternative Sites and Select the Site– Traffic– Accessibility of the Market is also a Key
Factor– The Total No. of Stores and the Type of
Stores that Exist in the Area– Amenities Avle– To Buy or to Lease– The Product Mix offered

It stresses that a city will develop by forming different urban concentric zones focused around a central business district
Concentric Zones Approach
12
• This approach place the stress on understanding residential areas but take into consideration importance of commercial areas in relation to residential development.
Sector Approach
13
Multiple Nuclei Approach
• It is an approach that accepts that different types of activity will tend to group together: shopping centres, buss districts, residential areas etc.
• The nuclei effect is created by:
– The mutual need for close proximity of different activities
– The need for accessibility of shopping– The different abilities to afford higher rents– Any significant physical aspects of the land – such as
steep hills or rivers affecting spatial development
14
Generalization of City Development
• Central Business District• Wholesale, smaller businesses• Low class residential• Medium class residential• High class residential• Heavy manufacturing• Outlaying business district• Residential suburb• Commuter’s zone based upon transport
links
15
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF RETAIL ACTIVITIES
• Main Spatial Patterns which Describe Most Cases of Retail Location are:
– Central place theory is based upon the premise that as the distance to a retail centre increases, demand for a product will decrease due to increased cost of transport. Eventually, the demand will drop to zero as this is the cut-off point past which consumers will not trade if the level of demand is too low. This level is known as
• Threshold level – it differs acc. to product offered– High threshold products-relatively expensive, infrequently
purchased– Low threshold products-relatively expensive, purchased on regular
basis
• Low order goods – based on low threshold, low range criteria• High order goods – based on high threshold, high range criteria
16

The Herfindahl-Herschman Index
• It is determined by adding the squares of the market shares of each competitor within the relevant product and geographic market
• The regulatory authorities in the US believe that markets are – concentrated when HHI > 1800– Moderately concentrated when HHI is between
1000 and 1800– unconcentrated when HHI < 1000
METHODS OF EVALUATING A TRADE AREA
21
The Index of Retail Saturation
Saturation is calculated in terms of the existing retail facilities and their use. The indicator is termed as The Index of Retail Saturation (IRS) which is calculated as:
IRS = H * RE/ RF where
IRS = The Index of Retail Saturation for a part. area
H= no. of households in that areaRE=Annual retail expenditures for a part. line of trade per household in that area
Rf= the total square footage of that part. line of trade in that area, incl. the proposed store
This theory implies checking of demand and supply
22
Reilly’s Law of Retail GravitationIt states when two cities compete for retail trade area from the immediate rural (suburban) areas, the breaking point for the attraction of such trade will be more or less in direct proportion to the population of the two cities and in inverse proportion to the square of distance from the immediate area of each city
(Ba/Bb)=(Pa/Pb)(Db/Da)2, where
Ba = the buss which city a draws from the intermediate placeBa = the buss which city b draws from the intermediate placePa = Popu. of city a; Pb = Popu. of city bDa = Distance of city a to the intermediate placeDa = Distance of city b to the intermediate place
Acc to this law, people will travel to the largest place most easily reached
23
Central Place TheoryCentral place: the centre of commerce of a village, town or city, which comprises of a cluster of retail orgns
Christaller presented 2 imp. concepts:
Range: the max that a consumer is willing to travel for a part. product or service
Threshold: the min. amt. of consumer demand that must exist for a store to survive
Technically, range should be > threshold for a store to be economically viable
The level of dev. tells a retailer abt. which type of retail activity is likely to develop in that area in the future
24
• Computerized databases as an aid to store location catchment area decisions
25
RETAIL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Retail property development is also reliant on:– Local factors of supply and demand– Appropriateness of the avle site for diff. types
of retailer– The experience and preferences of the
developer and local planning officers– The min. amt. of land reqd. to provide diff.
scales of dev. and change– The costs of the dev.– The time factors in the completion of the dev.– The level of financial risk in undertaking the
dev.
26
THE LEASING OF A RETAIL OUTLET
• Straight Lease• Percentage Lease
– Maintenance Recoupment– Net Lease
• Prohibited Lease
• Exclusive Use Clause

TRENDS IN RETAIL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
Tier 1: Major Cities (Mumbai)– 8 cities, popu. > 4 million,
– Total income > 100 billion Indian Rupee
Tier 2: Mainstream Cities (Jaipur)– 26 cities, popu. > 1 million
Tier 3: Climbers (Faridabad)– 33 cities, popu. > 5,00,000
Tier 4: Small Towns (Shimla)– 5094 towns
