1.0 Introduction

1.1 Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd instructed property consultants Ryden to investigate employment land and property markets, in order to establish market potential for land at East Fortune, East Lothian.

1.2 This report is intended to inform Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd about the nature of the employment market potential at East Fortune. It can also form a basis for discussions with the planning authority about the level of employment uses that could be supported on the site.

1.3 This report considers possible employment-generating opportunities within a residential-led development at East Fortune. The analysis focuses mainly but not exclusively upon the principal office and industrial employment sectors. Given the nature and location of the East Fortune site, the report also assesses other employment-generating land uses such as retailing, community uses, leisure and tourism facilities and creative industries.

1.4 Section 2 of this report describes the site location, planning policy context and the East Fortune development proposal.

1.5 Section 3 analyses employment land in East Lothian and Section 4 reviews the business property market.

1.6 Section 5 considers the other commercial land uses which may be appropriate for this particular site.

1.7 The report is summarised and Ryden’s conclusions and recommendations for appropriate employment uses at the East Fortune site are provide in Section 6.

2.0 East Fortune Site

Context

2.1 East Fortune is a hamlet within East Lothian, 25 miles east of . It is located close to and . The main road link to the A1 is the B1347. According to the Scottish Assessors Association there are 45 residential properties at East Fortune.

2.2 Existing employment and service uses in the area include a garden centre (Merryhatton), four workshops (East Fortune Aeromodellers, Clan Autos Garage Services, Lothian Landcare and East of Micro Light Training Association) and a couple of yards. There is no retail provision. The National Museum of Flight is also located in East Fortune. A Sunday market is held on the airfield each week

2.3 Site owner Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd. proposes a mixed-use development at East Fortune. The proposal would be residential-led, with land value generated by that development used to secure the future of listed buildings at the site (these are reviewed below).

Location and History

2.4 East Lothian lies immediately east of Edinburgh’s suburban edge in East Central Scotland. The local authority area extends eastwards through Dunbar and beyond to its boundary with the Scottish Borders. The principal administration centre for East Lothian is Haddington. The other main centres of population in East Lothian are Musselburgh, Tranent, North Berwick and Prestonpans. The population of East Lothian is 91,800.

2.5 The subject site totals approximately 17 hectares and comprises the former East Fortune hospital. The site is located two miles northwest of East Linton, adjacent to the National Museum of Flight and the disused East Fortune airfield. The site location is indicated on Figure 1 on the next page.

2.6 East Fortune Station and Aerodrome was the most extensive military site in Scotland in World War 1 devoted to military flying. Its function was to protect shipping on the east coast of Scotland. The entire site extended to 538 hectares of which 28 hectares were occupied by buildings. The complex was close to the main Edinburgh to London railway line and there was a station at East Fortune where materials and aircraft could be unloaded.

2.7 From 1917 onwards the station was dominated by a huge shed for non- rigid . The complex included extensive aeroplane sheds and hangers, its own gas plant and holders, water tower, compressor store, welder’s shop etc. A large number of buildings were developed to house personnel and the camp area had its own telephone exchange. In 1919 the R.34 airship departed from East Fortune to make the first successful westbound crossing of the Atlantic. Figure 2 on the next page illustrates the site with an airship in situ in 1918.

2.8 After the War, the domestic site became a hospital. It continued in this role until 1997 (although it was temporarily requisitioned during WW2 for training purposes). The original corrugated iron buildings which are listed (Table 1) date from the WW1 period. The group listing describes these as “the most complete example of a former purpose built WW1 airship base known to exist in the UK”.

Planning Policy

2.9 There are a number of key matters which are relevant to the planning background and the purpose of this report :-

- The adopted East Lothian Local Plan, Policy ENV12, states that the former East Fortune Hospital site should be re-used for employment, leisure or tourism purposes. Housing would only be acceptable as an enabling development and to achieve the retention and long term maintenance of the listed buildings.

- There is an obligation on the owners of listed buildings to maintain their fabric. This onerous requirement is unreasonable if there is no beneficial planning use for the site to which they are attached.

- East Lothian Council refused planning permission in outline for the erection of 56 houses at the site in 2009 (application reference 05/00357/OUT), contrary to officer recommendation. This was on the grounds that the proposal did not accord with the local plan because it was not for the preferred uses. A second reason for refusal was that the proposed housing and listed buildings would only occupy part of the site leaving what the Planning Committee called ‘a large area of dereliction with no immediate prospect of use or remedial action’. The Committee considered this would adversely affect the amenity and security of residents at the site. The Director of Environment had recommended approval of the application noting there had been no interest over a long period in using the site for the preferred uses and that the applicant would accept conditions that the listed buildings required to be restored before the housing could commence.

- The Minute of the Planning Committee of East Lothian Council at which this planning application was refused (6 October 2009) notes the debate. The Convenor of the Planning Committee at the outset asked the Director of Environment if the Local Plan Policy ENV12 could be interpreted that housing, as an ‘enabling development’, could not only contribute to the retention and long term maintenance of the listed buildings but also enable the creation of employment, leisure or tourism use. This wider interpretation of the role which housing could play at

Ryden, March 2014 Page 7 of 31

Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd Employment land and Property Market Review for East Fortune Hospital Site

the site was confirmed by the Director of Environment as a reasonable interpretation of the current local plan policy. It is also evident from the Minute that the Planning Committee had concerns about the restoration of the remainder of the site, beyond the area proposed for development. In effect, the Planning Committee whilst refusing planning permission for the proposed scheme invited comprehensive proposals for the whole site potentially including a range of uses but based on a residential development.

- East Lothian Council is in the process of preparing a new Local Development Plan. There is an opportunity in the plan to review the terms of the current policy and redefine what constitutes enabling development at the East Fortune Hospital site and the prospects of attracting employment, leisure or tourism use.

This report provides a rigorous analysis of the market to assist the shaping of a new policy for the former East Fortune Hospital site for inclusion in the forthcoming plan which will provide for its development and give it a sustainable long term future.

3.0 Employment Land

Introduction

3.1 This section of the report assesses employment land supply and take-up in East Lothian. The research provides a context for potential employment uses at East Fortune.

3.2 SESplan Economy Technical Note (May 2010, updated November 2011) summarises Edinburgh city-region’s transition from employment in traditional industries to the service sectors, and advocates flexibility in order to accommodate a wide variety of employment types. Drawing upon the sectoral analysis provided in the Note, a number of opportunities may be relevant to East Lothian. These include energy (both conventional and renewables), food & drink, tourism, life sciences and digital/ enabling technology. These potential growth areas are complementary to existing businesses and provision of local services within East Lothian.

3.3 Identified within the Note is a cluster of key employment locations in South- East Scotland. This identified cluster stretches along the A1 Corridor which passes through East Lothian from Musselburgh (Craighall Business Park) via Tranent (MacMerry), and Blindwells to Dunbar (Spott Road). East Fortune lies well outside of this employment corridor.

Employment Land

3.4 Employment land supply in East Lothian is shown in Table 2. A total of 102.4 hectares is allocated1. There is no readily available employment land within East Lothian and 85% of East Lothian’s employment land supply has major constraints. East Lothian has the lowest amount of effective employment land out of all the SESplan Council areas.

3.5 The employment land allocation of East Lothian comprises all undeveloped land allocated for employment use in the adopted Local Plan, or land which has a valid planning consent for such use.

3.6 Immediately available land – there is none identified and only 0.92 hectares is currently being marketed, see below - is defined as to have no significant constraints and is considered to be effective; minor constrained land could be made available within a 5-year period and considered to be effective; major constrained land has restrictions which mean it would not be available within a 5-year period, and is therefore considered to be not effective. Safeguarded employment land allocations are generally subject to constraints which may or may not be removed during a 5-year period; these comprise land identified in development plans for specialist company uses or expansion purposes, or land which is not currently allocated for employment use but is considered suitable for allocation in the longer term.

3.7 The adopted East Lothian Local Plan 2008 provides a series of further employment land proposals. These comply with the requirements of the Edinburgh & the Lothians Structure Plan to provide at least 40 hectares of employment land. The table in Appendix 1 summarises these allocations. All of the allocations are along the identified strategic employment cluster / corridor and at larger towns and/or established business locations.

3.8 Revised employment land proposals appeared in the SESPlan Economy Technical Note of November 2011. There have been some changes which are noted in Appendix 2, but the requirement to provide at least 40 hectares of employment land still complies as does the strategic preference. No further employment land allocations are proposed or required.

3.9 Two employment sites are currently being marketed in East Lothian. These are shown in Table 3 below. There is a total of 0.92 hectares of land being marketed. This is only 0.9% of the total amount of allocated employment land in East Lothian.

3.10 The average employment land take-up for East Lothian for the period 1992 to 2005 is shown in Table 4. The average annual take-up is 2.8 hectares.

3.11 The most recent take-up figures provided by East Lothian Council and are contained in Table 5. This suggests that take-up has been stronger in recent years. However the large take-up figure in 2010 is mainly accounted for by the Tesco superstore and NHS development in Musselburgh at 8.1 hectares, discounting this the average is 1.5 hectares per annum. These figures are also confirmed in Section 8 of the SESPlan Technical Note November 2011.

3.12 Since January 2005 ten land sale transactions (excluding residential land) have been recorded. These land transactions are detailed in the table on the next page. Transactions have tended to be very small in recent years.

Summary

3.13 Employment land allocations made within the finalised East Lothian Plan exceed Structure Plan requirements. However, the restricted supply of immediately available employment land may, according to the strategic planning authority, be constraining potential development in East Lothian.

Ryden, March 2014 Page 12 of 31

Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd Employment land and Property Market Review for East Fortune Hospital Site

3.14 The market for employment land has historically been small in East Lothian, with few sites being available and a small number of transactions taking place. One of the principal reasons for this lack of activity is the existence of a number of modern, serviced employment sites at satellite locations on the trunk road network around Edinburgh.

3.15 East Fortune is neither an established employment location, nor a large town, nor is it within a strategic cluster for future employment purposes. The site is a legacy allocation for employment uses which have failed to materialise.

4.0 Business Property Market

Introduction

4.1 This section reviews employment property markets. It provides an overview of the current national and regional property markets and a more detailed analysis for East Lothian.

Scotland

4.2 Scottish GDP grew by 0.6% during the second quarter of 2013. This contributed to an annualised rise of 1.8%. This rising growth rate is supported by business surveys which indicate positive trends and expectations, including growth in both output and jobs. The Scottish unemployment rate fell from 8.2% during June – August 2012 to 7.3% for the same period in 2013.

4.3 Fraser of Allander (June 2013) forecast Scotland’s GDP growth to be 0.9% in 2013, followed by 1.6% in 2014, and rising to 2.1% in 2015.

4.4 The modern industrial property market is driven by a diverse range of sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, ICT, and utilities and services. Trade counters, food & drink, motor vehicle and services also occupy traditional industrial estates. In the East of Scotland the occupier market has improved during 2013 and occupancy rates are rising2. Demand is most notable for prime estates at trunk road locations. In addition to recent transactions there are deals in the pipeline for industrial land, design-and-build premises and existing second hand accommodation.

4.5 Demand for office property across Scotland is strengthening as markets recover in line with the wider economy, and sales and lettings have increased in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Aberdeen’s office market is driven by the offshore oil and gas industry and has been performing well for a number of years. Speculative development has resumed in Glasgow and is emerging in Edinburgh as sites are prepared for the next market cycle. The current phase of the market recovery is however strongly focused upon prime locations in these major cities.

East Lothian

4.6 The economy of East Lothian has traditionally been based around farming, fishing and coal mining. Although the economy is still largely rural it has diversified in recent years and now includes the public sector, health, technology, tourism and primary industries. Major employers include East Lothian Council, the NHS and British Energy which operates the nuclear power station at Torness.

4.7 East Lothian’s economic output grew at an annual average rate of 1.85% between 2005 – 20083. This was just above the Scottish average of 1.8%. It is estimated that output fell by -6.1% in 2009, broadly in line with the depth of the UK and Scottish recessions. Forecasts for economic growth in East Lothian in 2013 are slightly above the Scottish average.

4.8 The largest settlements in East Lothian are Haddington and Musselburgh, each of which has town centre offices and peripheral industrial locations. North Berwick and Dunbar have existing industrial employment locations. Other smaller towns such as Gullane, Longniddry, Tranent and East Linton do not have the same level of established employment locations as the larger towns. The MacMerry Industrial Estate is an out-of-town business park in close proximity to the A1 trunk road. East Fortune is a hamlet with only a few local businesses operating.

Industrial

4.9 Table 6 indicates the main industrial locations within East Lothian. These are primarily to be found in Musselburgh, which is the largest East Lothian town and is in closest proximity to Edinburgh. Industrial units at these locations are typically less than 400 sq.m. in size.

4.10 Supply and take-up of industrial property in East Lothian on an annual basis is shown in Figure 4. Supply has fluctuated as a result of development cycles, peaking at 36,000 sq.m. in 2005 and 27,100 sq.m. in 2010 but falling to a comparatively 8,000 sq.m. in 2012. Since 2007, take- up has followed the economic cycle. Take-up fell with the wider economy in 2008/09 and has recovered gradually to 2,600 sq.m. in 2011 and 2012.

4.11 There are 18 industrial properties currently being marketed in East Lothian. Table 7 below shows the breakdown of these units by sizeband. Primarily these are small units less than 500 sq.m. There is very little choice of units greater than 2,000 sq.m. This demonstrates that the East Lothian industrial property market comprises mainly smaller units.

4.13 Half of this market activity took place in Musselburgh, with the majority of these deals at Fisherrow Industrial Estate. The market is most active around the small sized units of less than 500 sq.m. There is very little activity in the market for larger units. A selection of these recent industrial transactions in East Lothian is examined in more detail in Table 9. The most active occupier sector is construction/ trades businesses,

Office

4.14 The office market in East Lothian comprises town centre offices, business parks and business centres. The largest and best-established office market in East Lothian is in Musselburgh. Major office locations in East Lothian are summarised in Table 10.

4.15 Supply and take-up of office property in East Lothian is shown on Figure 5. 2010 was the market low point, when supply jumped to 11,000 sq.m. and take-up fell to 160 sq.m. Supply has since fallen again to 7,000 sq.m. while take-up improved to 615 sq.m. for the year to December 2012.

Summary

4.19 The employment property market in East Lothian is primarily based upon local services. There are few large private sector companies in the region. The main settlements of Musselburgh, Haddington, Tranent (MacMerry), North Berwick and Dunbar have established employment property markets.

4.20 East Lothian’s industrial market property is primarily focused on small units which are occupied by companies mainly servicing the local area. Demand for office property is limited, with the only established office areas being Musselburgh and Haddington. There is little to attract mobile employment to East Lothian from areas such as Midlothian and Edinburgh. Locations closer to the city have better trunk road links, access to a greater employment base and offer modern sites and premises.

4.21 East Fortune is a tertiary location outwith East Lothian’s employment market areas, where market activity is negligible and demand for employment uses at the subject site has not materialised over many years.

5.0 Commercial Property Markets

5.1 Although not strictly classified as employment uses in planning policy terms, other commercial land uses might potentially bring investment and employment to the East Fortune site and help to deliver a mixed-use location across both new development and the existing village.

5.2 East Fortune’s rural location and limited expansion potential mean that many commercial operators and developers targeting prime markets will inevitably not be attracted to the site. The analysis below is therefore kept to a minimum in order to demonstrate either where there is no market potential at East Fortune, or alternatively where some limited potential may exist.

5.3 Retail planning policy seeks to concentrate new development into existing centres. There is no centre with planning policy status at East Fortune. In terms of market demand, the retail sector is currently heavily focused upon prime centres in-and-around city locations such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The roll-out of major superstores by the likes of Tesco and Asda has slowed considerably, although there is strong activity in the provision of new local “c” (convenience) stores. East Fortune, even with new residential development, is not large enough to attract a branded convenience store (and also might not appeal due to the logistic of stocking such a store).

5.4 Local residents have access to an attractive and diverse town centre and mainstream supermarkets at North Berwick approximately 4 miles to the north. The only retail opportunity which might arise at East Fortune is a community shop, as new population is attracted to the site. This might be operated on a part-time basis and owned via a trust/ local co-operative.

5.5 Commercial leisure operators including cinemas, bingo, restaurant chains, coffee shops, gyms and health clubs require proximity and access to large urban populations to run viable businesses. There are currently 31 leisure requirements for Scotland4 totalling between 8,900 – 16,700 sq.m., these requirements include a bowling alley, gym, cinema, comedy club and several restaurant chains (including Chiquito, Papa Johns, Carluccio’s, Strada, Cosmo and Pizza Express). Indoor and soft play operators such as Gambado are also expanding and have current market requirements.

5.6 East Fortune is however orders of magnitude too small in population terms to attract this type of commercial leisure investment, even if such uses were acceptable in planning policy terms.

5.7 Tourism is an important element in the East Lothian economy, generating over £200 million and employing 15% of the workforce.5 The area benefits from a scenic coastline, historic towns, villages, castles and museums. Golf is a major draw to the area - there are 22 golf courses and the Open golf championship was hosted again at Muirfield in 2013. Purpose-built tourist attractions include the award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick Harbour and the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune. The latter attracts around 100,000 visitors per annum and is situated adjacent to the East Fortune site.

5.8 SESplan Economy Technical Note November 2011 states that a target has been set of increasing revenue from tourism in Scotland by 50% from 2006 to 2015. East Lothian’s Tourism Strategy to 2015 mirrors this objective. The most recent data for the period 2008-10 indicates visitor numbers in East Lothian of 1.34 – 1.39 million per annum6. The majority were day trips and numbers of UK visitors increased over the period while overseas trips fell. Serviced accommodation such as hotels and guest houses were the most popular form of accommodation for overnight stays. The preference for day trips to some extent reflects East Lothian’s proximity to Edinburgh as a base for visitors with a wide range of accommodation and attractions.

5.9 The Edinburgh and the Lothians Tourism Accommodation Audit published by Scottish Enterprise in 2006 which recommended substantial new provision of accommodation is now rather dated, however the SESplan Economy Technical Note states that there is a requirement for additional hotel and holiday accommodation facilities which are well linked to tourist locations.

5.10 A selection of East Lothian hotels is presented in Table 14. These range from exclusive country houses to simple tourist hotels. Chain budget style hotels can also be found in Musselburgh as a result of its position adjacent to Edinburgh.

5.11 East Fortune’s main tourism assets are the surrounding golf courses and the National Museum of Flight. The latter will attract day visitors to East Fortune, which is an important aspect of the East Lothian tourism market but there is no major draw for overnight visitors to choose East Fortune as a destination. There is no nearby business location to attract a budget-style hotel development for the corporate market. Active in the market seeking new hotel sites are Premier Inn (16 requirements for Scotland), Travelodge (c. 5 requirements), Accor (ibis budget, ibis, ibis Styles, Mercure and Novotel), Rezidor (Hotel Missoni, Radisson Blu and Park Inn by Radisson) and Marriott (Moxy, 2 Scottish targets). None of these active hotel formats is suitable for rural location such as East Fortune, and none of the named operators has expressed requirement for East Lothian (Musselburgh already has a Travelodge and a Premier Inn, listed in Table 14 above.

Ryden, March 2014 Page 24 of 31

5.12 Family pub/ restaurants are also active in the market seeking new premises. Marston’s opened its first Scottish outlet in Dunbar in April 2013 and plans further openings. Slug & Lettuce is seeking to double the size of its restaurant estate and is targeting town centres including Aberdeen and Glasgow. East Fortune lacks the market scale and profile to attract such a chain pub/ restaurant. Other expanding chains such as BrewDog and Walkabout are bars more suited to urban centres.

5.13 One potential employment use suited to rural locations such as East Fortune is creative / craft industries – sometimes termed “creative original producers” to distinguish from other creative industries such as digital media. This a growing sector which is currently flourishing in Scotland and especially in Edinburgh, where studios can be fully occupied with waiting lists. It is not commercially viable to develop a building completely devoted to creative industries as the costs will outweigh the value of the property. However, vacant buildings often present an opportunity for this sector. Table 15 provides a few examples of projects elsewhere which have used historic/ obsolete buildings to create craft activities and destinations.

5.14 Urban examples re-use obsolete buildings in areas of high demand for craft units. WASPs are a prominent operator of these projects. Rural examples also exist although some of these lean towards craft retailing with on-site shop and café (e.g. Holme Grange) rather than just production space. Rural conversions tend to be stone buildings; none of the examples use corrugated iron buildings. Ownerships range from local authorities and enterprises such as WASPs to owner-occupation. The examples are positive and informative, but there is no standard model and a proposition would be required for East Fortune.

5.15 Finally, a commercial mix at East Fortune might include community uses. Again given the small residential population there will be insufficient scale to attract local authority or health trust services. The appropriate scale of use might include a community-run nursery/ crèche, community hall for hire and possibly post office services within a part-time village shop.

6. Summary and Conclusions

Ryden, March 2014 Page 26 of 31

Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd Employment land and Property Market Review for East Fortune Hospital Site

6.1 Historic Lothian Protection & Development Ltd instructed Ryden to assess the potential for employment land uses at the former East Fortune hospital site, East Lothian.

6.2 East Lothian’s economic development potential lies in the service requirements of the region itself and in opportunity sectors including tourism, energy, food & drink, life sciences and digital/ enabling technology. In strategic terms, economic development opportunities are directed towards a cluster/ corridor around the A1 trunk road. There is no strategic requirement to provide additional employment land elsewhere in East Lothian. East Fortune is in a tertiary market location outwith this strategic planning area.

6.3 The East Fortune site is largely undeveloped with neither an urban catchment, nor a position on the strategic transport network that would allow it to serve a wider market area or target visitor markets.

6.4 Table 16 summarises East Fortune’s market potential by employment use.

6.4 The East Fortune site is a tertiary location for employment uses; demand would be negligible. Crucially, provision of new employment land and buildings would require cross-funding from housing development. This would increase the required number of houses at East Fortune to well above the number required to cross-fund retention of the listed buildings. Creating a second cross-funding requirement is not a sensible approach to the site. Grant funding via initiatives such as JESSICA/ SPRUCE, Enterprise Areas, Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund, Urban Regeneration Companies and Scottish Enterprise would not be available for this location.

6.5 The only feasible solution to provision of employment-generating land uses at East Fortune is the possibility of re-using the existing listed buildings when these have been refurbished. These could potentially meet the very limited demand for light industrial / workshop units, craft/ creative industries, local shop and community hall opportunities. A potential additional use would be public access to one of the listed buildings, possibly with restoration to original interiors and provision of interpretative materials. This potential solution integrates the requirement to cross--fund retention of the listed building, with the desire to achieve a mix of land uses including an appropriate scale of employment-generating activity.

6.6 At this stage these uses can only be conceptual. Proving the potential of the buildings in terms of scale of opportunity and appropriate buildings to re-use, refurbishment or preservation requirements, and proposals for ownership and management, would form part of developing a costed plan for the full site including the residential use and cross-funding requirements. This work would be undertaken once the principle of the approach to the site has been established with the planning authority East Lothian Council.

6.7 Policy ENV12 needs to change to recognise, as the Planning Committee already has, that residential development should be the principal future use to underpin a re-use of the whole site and secure the future of the listed buildings. East Fortune lies within the East Coast Corridor defined in SESplan where East Lothian Council will have to meet significant housing growth requirements, particularly in the period to 2024. The location of this site has the advantage of good access to the North Berwick commuter line at Drem Station and is therefore a suitable location for new housing is sustainable development terms. There should be a planning policy in the New Local Development Plan which allows the site to be developed for housing which would underpin the future of the Listed Buildings and deliver

Ryden, March 2014 Page 28 of 31

other supporting uses. The LDP policy should be revised accordingly. Ryden would be pleased to agree appropriate wording with East Lothian Council.
