NR have announced their initial ideas about moving the concourse

mid-concourse

Yes, perhaps a better description.

catering/retail outlets at Waterloo up to first floor level, with
escalator connections etc, freeing up space for passenger circulation.

Those retail outlets should never have been allowed to clutter up the
concourse in the first place!

ps What happened to the lower level Eurostar mini-concourses, next to the
check-in and around the side where you emerged off a train? Are they being
used for extra retailing.

There are other applications to use the lower parts for retail purposes but
those lower areas are BRB residuary's responsibility, rather than Network
Rail.

Is BRB Residuary being abolished as part of the government's 'cull' on
quangos?

Yes ... it was listed ...

.... but winding up BRBR does not imply the responsibility passes to
NR ... and just winding up the quango may well complicate Waterloo use
issue. Perhaps thats why its been avoided ?
