High street rental auctions

Local designated town centres – high street rental auctions (HRSAs)

Following a public consultation in autumn 2025, 9 town centre areas were designated for HSRA powers. Selection of these HSRA high street areas have been based on:

  • high levels of vacancy
  • economic significance to the wider town/city
  • potential for regeneration and business growth
  • areas defined as town centres in our Local Plan
  • feedback from the public consultation

Further information about town centre boundaries is available on the Local Plan policy maps.
