💨 Abstract

The UK government plans to revitalize high streets by simplifying the process for new clubs, bars, and cafes to occupy disused shops. Changes to licensing and planning laws will expedite permissions for al fresco dining and street parties in designated 'hospitality zones.' The Night Time Industries Association supports this move, seeing it as a boost to Britain's social identity and nightlife culture. The 'Agent of Change' principle will also be extended nationally to protect residents from noise.
