RICHMOND 12-14 HILL STREET, RICHMOND, TW9 1TN DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Planning permission/listed building consent will be required for any potential change of use of the property due to it being Grade II listed and located within the Central Richmond conservation area (an Article 4 area), which prevents change of use through permitted development rights.

We have been advised that planning permission is achievable in the short term if various tests are satisfied as set out below.

Policy DM EM2 of the adopted Development Management Plan protects existing employment uses, however if the below criteria are satisfied, change of use is possible:

Criteria 1 – demonstrate 2 years’ worth of unsuccessful marketing for employment uses.

Criteria 2 - demonstrate that a sequential approach has been applied, which reviews the suitability of the site for solely employment-based redevelopment over a mixed-use or alternative use where employment floor space is retained. SECOND FLOOR Criteria 3 - demonstrate that the location has such exceptionally severe site restrictions due to poor access and servicing arrangements that its continued employment use would be inappropriate.

We have been advised that due to the inability to let the upper floors for commercial uses for over 10 years, Criteria 1 should be easily satisfied. Criteria 2 and 3 can also be satisfied due to access arrangements to the upper floors being prohibitive for employment uses suggesting this as an inappropriate use going forward.

If the policy ‘tests’ associated with Policy DM EM2 can be addressed, residential uses are permitted in town centre under Development Management Plan policy DM TC1 and are supported in the NPPF.

We are aware that the Council have permitted 1 or 2 bed units in similar town centre locations and that the Mayoral Housing SPG states that listed buildings may require sensitivity/flexibility and in same circumstances it may be justified to not apply certain standards’ when considering their redevelopment. FIRST FLOOR A planning note from GVA is available on request setting out the above. FIRST FLOOR

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS REPORT Our clients have commissioned an engineers report (available on request), which concludes that the property is fundamentally sound but approximately £30,000 needs to be spent on the structure over and above standard refurbishment costs.

FREEHOLD RETAIL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL VAT The property is elected for VAT and it is anticipated the sale will be treated as a TOGC.

DATA ROOM There is a Lewis Ellis data room for the property containing key tenancy information, title documents, planning reports, structural engineers report and EPC certificates; access available upon request.

PROPOSAL Offers are sought in excess of £2,000,000 (Two Million Pounds), subject to contract and exclusive of VAT.

A purchase at this price would reflect an attractive net initial yield of 5.00% based on the retail income (including rental top up) and £625 per sq ft on the vacant upper floors creating a blended yield of 3.06% after allowing for purchaser’s costs of 6.27%.
