Wholesale and retail is the largest industry group. Private service yards and retail-park lanes can take a rising arm.

The high street itself cannot. Detached houses lead the housing mix, so communal booms are less common than on flatted estates.

We do not invent a podium that the census says is not the main housing form. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 and very small cells may have been suppressed by ONS.

A barrier survey is on application and only for a private lane. This readout does not invent a business park.
