9. Largest Developments by Planning Stage

9.1 Table 20 below, sets out the ten largest retail schemes at each of the planning stages identified in the report.

The key trends from the table may be summarised as follows:

  • Largest applications: Two of the largest applications were in Highland local authority area. Six were either in out of centre or out of town locations and nine were new build. Seven were mixed
    development and seven were on brownfield sites.
  • Largest approved schemes: Eight were in the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Structure Plan area and nine were new build. Eight were on brownfield sites and six were either in town centre or edge of centre locations.
  • Largest refused consent without the prospect of further appeal: Three of four applications were for new build and each were in a variety of locations. Two were brownfield sites and three were either convenience superstore, or convenience discount superstore formats.
  • Largest refused consent but with the possibility of appeal/inquiry/call-in: Five of six of these were new build and three were convenience supermarket/superstore retail formats. Five were for brownfield sites and four were in out of centre locations.
  • Largest developments under construction: Nine were new build and most were comparison or mixed retail developments. Seven were on brownfield sites and in a variety of locations.
  • Largest schemes newly trading: Eight of these developments were new build and five were in out of centre locations. Eight were on brownfield sites but there was a mixture of retail formats.
  • Largest withdrawn schemes: Eight applications were for new build. Seven applications were either in out of centre or out of town locations and six were of a mixed retail format.
