🏡 In our latest blog, we dive into the potential of grey belt sites to significantly impact the UK's housing landscape. With over 14,000 grey belt sites identified across England and Scotland, there's the capacity to build more than 524,000 new homes—a critical step toward achieving the government's ambitious goal of 1.5 million homes in the next five years. 36% of home movers live within 2 miles of grey belt sites, making this strategy highly relevant for where people are already looking to relocate. Grey belt development could offer affordable housing options to underserved groups like “Limited Budgets” and “Hard-Up Households,” ensuring a more inclusive housing future. Check out our full post to explore how grey belt land can transform the housing market and address the needs of a growing, mobile population. ▶ Read here: https://lnkd.in/eSK4XgDU #GreyBelt #AffordableHousing #UrbanPlanning #UKHousing #HomeMovers

🎬 Cinemas bounce back with Marvel and school holidays! August was a blockbuster month for Vue Cinemas, with sales rising 11.8% YOY, outpacing the 4.9% growth seen across the broader Participation Leisure category. The surge was driven by an 11.5% increase in transactions—marking the first positive growth for the chain since December 2023. The latest Marvel release, Deadpool & Wolverine, which hit theatres at the end of July, dominated box office sales and played a significant role in boosting foot traffic. Combined with the school holidays, it gave cinemas a much-needed lift. Want to know more?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 🌱 Recently exploring Richmond high street, I came across Dobbies Garden Centres ‘Little Dobbies’ small store format ✨ A garden centre brand situated on a high street, to me, is the perfect pairing - and it’s certainly a houseplant haven 💐 Walking into the store, it’s incredibly easy to forget you are on a bustling high street, with a beautiful array of plants left, right and centre However the offering doesn’t stop there: 🌵an array of houseplants, all shapes and sizes - with a buy 3 get 1 free offering advertised throughout 🍄🟫 a ‘grow your own mushroom’ section, potentially inspired by Jeremy Clarkson’s success on Clarksons Farm 🐶 a section for our furry friends, mainly dog toys and small treats (handy for carrying home) ✉️ gifts, books, cards, fragrances, amongst plant accessories such as funky pots and water feeders ☕️ cleverly located at the till, they have a coffee machine, allowing you to fill your coffee need whilst buying a new potted plant (quite frankly, the dream!) I was surprised by just how much they managed to fit in a small format store, however the store layout prevented the store from feeling overwhelming With 6 Little Dobbies currently, it will be interesting to see where the brand decides to open next But this is a great example of a brand tweaking their store format to cater for a high street location ✨ CACI Ltd #locationintelligence #retail #storeformat #sitevisit

💡 In the UK, there is a wealth of data you can draw upon to build geodemographic segmentations like CACI's Acorn, including a robust and detailed census, land registry, and most importantly, a well-defined, small-scale Postcode system. However, in foreign markets, such detailed data often doesn’t exist, and where it does, it can be of poor quality, hard to verify and at a regional level. So, how can you build a reliable segmentation in these markets? Our latest blog explores just that and how satellite imagery and advanced geodemographic segmentation can help revolutionise your market understanding. ➡️ Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/dqxtsBr4 Whether you’re an established international organisation or looking to move into a new market, find out more on how you can achieve your goals. #datascience #segmentation #international #insight #satelliteimageryanalysis #locationstrategy #caci #geospatial
