The design should incorporate various aspects of sustainable design, and looks to new technologies and local workforce. 1.3 Location The application site is located in Ilford on the main High Road, which is within the heart of the city centre. The site benefits from public transport with bus services operating on Ilford Hill and Cranbrook Road, leading throughout Ilford and towards the city centre which is walking distance away. The site is ideally located for the proposed change of use being within a prime city centre location walking distance away from the city centre with a mix of high street commercial retail and food eateries. 1.4 Existing Site Figure 3: Location The site sits within a busy and prime area of Ilford with many public and private facilities available locally such as educational, retail, restaurant/takeaway and high street businesses surrounding. The building in question is currently vacant previously used as an A1 retail shop, and has been vacant for a number of years. Visually and structurally the building is in good condition with alterations proposed to the shop front. The site is in an ideal location for the proposed use as it sits close to the city centre with many high street retail businesses, making it an ideal location for the proposed change of use. 1.5 Proposal The proposal is for the change of use from A1 retail to restaurant A3 with ancillary A5 providing grilled healthy food, with alterations to the shop front facing High road. The proposed change of use and shop front alterations will help create an elegant and welcoming dining experience within a prime city centre location. The proposed changes will improve the aesthetical appearance of the building externally, with large glazed windows which will bring light into the space and attract customers, giving views in and views out. 182 High Road, Ilford, IG1 1LR 2.0 History Ilford is a town in east London, England, located 9.1 miles (14.6 km) east of Charing Cross. It is the administrative centre of the London Borough of Redbridge, and identified as a major metropolitan centre in the London Plan. Ilford forms a significant commercial and retail centre surrounded by extensive residential development. It was historically a small rural settlement in the county of Essex and its strategic position on the River Roding and the London to Colchester road caused it to develop as a coaching town. The arrival of the railway in 1839 eventually accelerated that growth and as part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Ilford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1926. Since 1965 it has formed part of Greater London. Ilford is part of the IG postcode area, though areas to the west of Ilford Hill and the A406 are part of E postcode area instead. The population of Ilford, comprising the Clementswood, Loxford, Goodmayes, Newbury, Mayfield, Seven Kings, Barkingside, Clayhall, Redbridge,Green Street, Fullwell, Fairlop, Cranbrook and Valentines The town is served by Ilford railway station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Travelcard Zone 4. All trains calling at the station are the high-frequency Liverpool Street-Shenfield. This service was taken over by TfL Rail on 31 May 2015 for the new Crossrail project set to run through Ilford in 2017. Gants Hill tube station is located in the north of Ilford and is served by the Central line of the London Underground. It is planned that the Liverpool Street-Shenfield service will be replaced by Crossrail in 2018. The first stage of the East London Transit begins at Ilford The Exchange Ilford is the main retail shopping mall in the town centre of Ilford, London. It was owned by The Mall Fund for a period of time but has now been sold and reverted to its original name of The Exchange Mall. It trades from three levels of retail, though its architectural design layout has resulted in the lower floor of retail being separated into two parts, meaning customers wishing to access both parts of the lower level have to travel between the sections via the middle level. There is also an upper level of retail and food court facilities accessed from the middle level. Transit between levels is via a series of lifts, stairs and escalators within the Mall; in addition, some stores trade from two or more levels of the mall. The design and layout of some of the stores is notable: the Marks & Spencer store is bisected by the Mall site: at ground level it is accessile from the High Road by its external doors either side of the Mall entrance, whilst on the middle level of the mall it is accessible from two entrances facing opposite each other (as in The Mall Bexleyheath). One of the two sides of M&S is also publicly accessible from the Upper level of the Mall. However, one side closed in July 2015. TK Maxx was initially two separate stores facing each other on opposite sides of the Mall, but this has more recently been changed, with the extension of TK Maxx across the mall area to create a single unified store, in effect splitting the lower mall into three segments, with a third section around the Cranbrook Road entrance (by Wilko) which is now separated from the other main part of the lower mall by TK Maxx. Past architectural features of the mall were a, now defunct, granite floating sphere and a wishing fountain. The centre is accessible by car, with access to parking via Havelock Street and Ley Street. The centre is also served by the numerous Transport for London bus services which serve central Ilford 182 High Road, Ilford, IG1 1LR Northern Edge Western Edge Southern Edge Eastern Edge 182 High Road, Ilford, IG1 1LR 3.0 Planning Guidance 3.1 Planning History 4.0 Proposed Development 4.1 Design Concept The internal layout will be altered on the ground floor to provide a suitable dinning layout for customers, with facilities to create longevity and sustainability to the building. The proposed new shop front will provide an elegant and welcoming appearance and attract customers and provide a fresh visual appearance. 4.2 Use The existing site is currently used as A1 retail, which has been vacant for many years, the proposed change of use to A3 restaurant ancillary A5 takeaway will provide healthy grilled food to the community something which is required in the area and as part of a healthy lifestyle. 4.3 Amount The amount of development on the site that is considered appropriate has been arrived at by examining and responding to the following issues: Urban design and size of the blocks in the area. Ensuring the public and private realms are clearly defined and works with the existing context. Height and massing of the surrounding buildings. The proposed installation of the new shop front, and internal alterations does not affect the building footprint. 4.4 Layout and Scale The internal layout on the ground floor will be altered to provide the best setting for a restaurant with dining space, kitchen preparation and disabled toilet facility. Externally the building will be retained, with new shopfront to provide a fresh and elegant appearance. The proposed changes will regenerate the building to a modern standard and attract customers. 4.5 Appearance and Materials The external shop front will be painted RAL 3003 and internally on the ground floor the layout will be changed to suit the proposed change of use. Materials used internally and externally will be of high standard and quality to represent quality dining experience. 4.6 Opening hours Mon-Fri: 11.30am – 11.30pm Sat – Sun: 11.30am – 11.30pm 182 High Road, Ilford, IG1 1LR 4.7 Staff The restaurant seeks to employ 6 no full time staff and 3 no. part time staff 4.8 Access Bus routes serve the surrounding local area and therefore the application site is within short reach by public transport. The closest bus route is located on Ilford Hill and Cranbrook Road which is approx. 1 minute walk from the site. Ilford railway station is approximately 5 minutes walking distance away from the site, leading throughout Ilford and to other cities. As the internal site is level there will be no difficulties in providing pedestrian access. The property is accessed via High road. The entrance to the front of the property is level with the external pedestrian footpath; should any wheelchair users require access, would not be a problem for them.

INTRODUCTION In the sections below we set out the commitment we made in the business plan for 2005 and the extent to which that commitment was met. Major Projects The Integrated Enforcement Environment continued to have a major impact particularly through the strike off process. While plans were implemented to step up actions regarding presenters and directors the major effect will be felt during 2006. The backlog clearance project continued to bring substantial benefits in document checking and registration but the levels of throughput necessary to clear the backlog of unregistered annual returns is not yet in place. Renewed effort on a number of fronts will be necessary in 2006. Considerable work was done on the rules database and it too will bring benefits. Extensive work was done to support the statutory Electronic Filing Agent, and to develop the pre-filled annual return. The implementation of the Companies On-line Registration Environment went very smoothly and can now be extended to a much wider user base. CROLink CROLink is the Users Council of the CRO. It is a forum which allows management and users of the CRO to share ideas to improve the services provided by the CRO. CROLink met three times during 2005. At the CROLink meetings, representatives of CRO users get a chance to raise questions and air views about CRO services.

ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.
