For the purposes of this Part, any use of premises that falls within any of the following sub-paragraphs is a "high-street use"—
use as a shop or office;
use for the provision of services to persons who include visiting members of the public;
use as a restaurant, bar, public house, café or other establishment selling food or drink for immediate consumption;
use for public entertainment or recreation;
use as a communal hall or meeting-place;
use for manufacturing or other industrial processes of a sort that can (in each case) reasonably be carried on in proximity to, and compatibly with, the preceding uses.
For the purposes of this Part, premises are "qualifying high-street premises" if—
they are situated on a designated high street or in a designated town centre, and
the local authority considers them to be suitable for a high-street use.
But premises are not "qualifying high-street premises" if they are, or when last used were, used wholly or mainly as a warehouse.
For the purposes of this Part, "suitable high-street use", in relation to premises, means a high-street use for which the local authority considers the premises to be suitable.
In considering the uses for which premises are suitable, a local authority is to have regard to any works that it expects—
the landlord would be required to carry out, or
the tenant would be permitted to, and likely to, carry out,
if a contract was entered into under section 204 and a tenancy was granted further to it.
