The Westfield Shopping Centre (extension) has the largest trading area, accounting for 33.4% of town centre floor space, dominating all other areas. The “Old Eagle Centre” area, containing St Peters Mall, the original Eagle Centre and the Eagle Centre Market accommodates 11.9% of floor space. This means that the joined-up covered mall area of these two adjacent areas represent 45.3% of Derby’s total retail and service floor space.
The Green Lane area has 10.6% of floor space, however over half of this is now vacant, with the closure of the old Debenhams store. Vacant floor space in the city is high (11.2%), with the highest levels in Green Lane (57.6% - Old Debenhams), Sadler Gate (12.4%), St Peters Street (11.1% relating to vacancies in the Audley Centre) and “Old Eagle Centre” (12.3%).
chain retailers. The Spot, Old Eagle Centre and Cornmarket have a balance between multiples and independents, whilst Sadler Gate and Green Lane areas contain predominantly independent stores
The Westfield Extension is anchored by M&S and Debenhams and mass retailers such as WH Smith, Next, Zara, Top Shop and Hennes. There is also a representation of premium retailers, including Pumpkin Patch, Beaverbrooks, Lacoste, Vero Moda, G-Star, Allsaints, Jones Bootmaker and Hawes & Curtis.
independent stores are predominantly premium retailers.
Following the Westfield extension in October 2007, Derby city centre has seen its market potential size grow by 65%, propelling it through the UK retail centre ranking from 63rd to 38th. The Westfield Extension has added more than 50% more retail space to Derby City Centre, providing much needed units to satisfy retailer requirements of those seeking larger floorplates; however, the scale and location of the extension has meant that the impact has been to shift the centre of gravity of retailing in the city.
The Westfield Extension and relocation of Debenhams has irrevocably changed the centre of gravity for retailing in Derby. The induced changes to footfall levels due to the extension has had the greatest impact on trading conditions in the Cathedral Quarter area, however the introduction of Primark and Tesco Metro may have increased footfall in this area.
The majority of the Normanton Road linear centre is also within the boundaries of Arboretum. The centre is anchored by the Southgate Retail Park to the north of the centre and Pak Foods supermarket to the south. The centre has a wide variety of convenience and comparison uses, including bakeries, butchers, off licences, newsagents, pharmacies, book shops, a toy shop, electronics shops, jewellers, clothes shops and fabric shops. Southgate Retail Park offers a Lidl supermarket.
The centre's environmental quality is adversely affected by virtue of the linear nature along a main busy road. A number of unsightly buildings are apparent on the periphery of the centre and many of the shop fronts need upgrading. There are significant levels of vehicular traffic along both Normanton Road and Pear Tree Road and the amount of car parking facilities contributes to a car dominated feel.

A Better Built and Natural Environment This will be measured via the Derby Plan Survey. Confidence levels however will not be very high for ward level information but figures will provide an indication of the feeling in Arboretum. The results for this should be available shortly and will be included in the next update of the profiles.
CSP Survey 2008 found that the percentage residents very or fairly satisfied with their neighbourhood in Arboretum was considerably lower than Derby.
