A forum for public-private debate
 
 
In today’s market, positive intervention needs to be provided by both the public and private sectors. We can no longer rely on the market alone to deliver.

This year’s BCSC Conference & Exhibition is a unique forum to develop those key partnerships that unite local authorities and private enterprise, central government and retail property developers, landlords and tenants, retailers and customers - vital to ensure the future of viable, sustainable communities, particularly in today’s climate.

It’s your chance to be part of the debate and part of the solution, where we’ll be focusing on:

The future viability of retail property
and how to ensure the success of
  retail-led regeneration in the current climate

Planning policy and legislation
including an examination of the implications
  of CIL on development viability and the implications of proposed changes to 'town centre first' planning policy
bullet
Secondary centres and how to ensure their survival
in the short term,
  and their growth in the long term. What is the role of recent planning changes and proposals for the longer term viability of secondary retail locations? What is the impact of a changing ownership model on managing retail assets?

Sustainability and social engagement:
how can they be pushed forward
  to encourage positive changes that underpin sustainable environments for working and living? Why is sustainability within the wider investment community considered so important for the success of property as an investment class? What are retailers’ requirements and common barriers to implementation? What are the implications of the 2010 Carbon Reduction Commitment and other policy and legislation?
