Discretionary Retail Discount Policy
The Government recognises the challenges
retailers face and is taking action to help the high street evolve.
It will therefore provide a retail discount scheme for occupied
retail properties with a rateable value of less than 51,000 for
each of the years 2019/20 and 2020/21. This discount will be
administered by the Council and funding by a Section 31
grant.
Retail discount guidance has been published by the Government here

The Council must have a robust policy in place n order to
administer and award retail discounts.
