A designated high street is a term that was introduced inittially via the Bill and formalised further within the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023. essentially a designated high street one that is designated by the local council as being important to the local economy because of a concentration of high-street uses of premises on the street.

The Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 itself in section 191 talks about designated high streets and town centres:

* "(1) A local authority may designate a street in its area as a high street for the purposes of this Part if it considers that the street is important to the local economy because of a concentration of high-street uses of premises on the street.
* (2) A local authority may designate an area within its area as a town centre for the purposes of this Part if—
** (a) the built environment of the area is characterised principally by a network of streets, and
** (b) the authority considers that the area is important to the local economy because of a concentration of high-street uses of premises in the area.
* (3) A street or area is not to be designated, however, if the authority considers that its importance derives principally from goods or services purchased in the course of business.
* (4) A designation under this section may be varied or withdrawn at any time.
* (5) A local authority must maintain and make available to the public a list describing, and a map showing, any designations under this section that are in force in its area.
* (6) A designation under this section is a local land charge.
* (7) In this Part—
** “designated high street” means a street for the time being designated under subsection (1);
** “designated town centre” means an area for the time being designated under subsection (2)."
