Collection description

Overview:
Experian Goad is a retail property intelligence system that helps retail developers, property investors, planning professionals, and commercial agents to identify profitable locations for retail property development and investment projects.

It offers comprehensive retail location plans and easy to use reports covering over 3,000 shopping areas in the UK and Ireland. Experian surveyors collect the data by visiting each centre. Frequency refers to months between survey cycles: 12 – annual survey, 24 – every 2 years, 6 – twice a year.

Experian Goad Plan Data 2017:
Experian Goad Plan Data covers 1998 - 2017. It is a dataset with retail areas within urban areas across the whole UK and Ireland. The dataset's comprehensiveness and time period coverage has the potential to support high quality research through both coverage and geographic linkability and the data is “naturally occurring” in that it is collated by a company for use in planning and marketing commercial ventures in cities.

Access and restrictions:
UBDC's licence agreement with Experian limits access to UK-based academics conducting non-commercial, academic research.
To use the data, researchers need to apply to UBDC setting out a summary of the work they plan to undertake so that the usage can be assessed against these criteria. Please apply to UBDC. If the intended use falls within the terms of the licence, researchers will be asked to sign an End User Licence agreement.
