  The British Council of Shopping Centres (BCSC) asked Geofutures, together with its Expert Panel member Michael Bach, to find out.
  
  The practice used its influential Town Centres statistics produced for the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG, previously ODPM), and data kindly provided by leading property researchers Property Market Analysis (PMA). Geofutures assessed all completed retail developments since 1999, together with those in the development pipeline, to discover exactly how many are within the town centre boundaries, or how far they are outside them.
  
  Extensive out-of-town retail development took place in the UK in the 15 or so years before 1996, and concerns grew about the viability of town centres as a result. Planning Policy Guideline 6 (PPG6) was the response: led by Michael Bach, then principal government planner, it required retailers applying for out of town planning consents to consider in-town sites first.
  ...
  With research support from Geofutures, Expert Panel member Michael Bach re-examined the popular view that government policy has been successful in encouraging half of all new floorspace to be developed in town centres.
