Consultation Statement Development Management Policies Document: Consultation Statement in accordance with Regulation 22 (1) (c) of The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2012 And Duty to Cooperate in accordance with Section 110 of the Localism Act (2011) Contents Page 1.

It therefore applies particularly to the Preferred Options stage (2014) of the Development Management Policies Document (DMP). While there was no formal duty to co-operate before that date, previous consultation stages have been included in this section for completeness. The duty requires Brent to “to engage, constructively, actively and on an on-going basis” with neighbouring boroughs and other public bodies1 in the preparation of development plan documents “so far as relating to a strategic matter”. The main strategic spatial planning issues, associated with development in Brent, have been addressed through both the London Plan and Brent’s Core Strategy. The DMP sets out the Council's preferred options for detailed policies, which will be used primarily for the determination of planning applications for development in the borough. As a development plan document the DMP is subject to the Duty to Cooperate. Table 1 shows the bodies we consulted formally through the consultation process and summarises the outcome from this engagement to date. The Council regularly discusses emerging policy at forums such as the Association of London Borough Planning Officers (ALBPO) and West London Alliance Planning Policy Officers Group. Table 2 includes a summary of relevant forums which ensure the continuous engagement of neighbouring boroughs and other public bodies. In addition separate meetings have taken place with neighbouring boroughs, where relevant. A full account of representations at the Issues & Options stage can be found in Appendix B, a full account of representations and responses at Preferred Options stage (2007) can be found in Appendix C and at Preferred Options stage (2014) in Appendix D. 1 As identified in S33A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended by S110 of the Localism Act) 3 Table 1: Fulfilling the duty to cooperate: Consultation neighbouring boroughs and prescribed bodies Body/Organisation Issues & Options Preferred Options (2007) Preferred Options (2014) Outcome Invitation Comment Invitation Comment Topic area(s) Invitation Comment Topic area(s) Environment ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Promoting a ✓ ✓ Built Text amended for Agency Quality Environment, clarity.

Issues & Options Stage (September to October 2005) Issues & Options: Consultation Methods Two focus groups were organised as a precursor to any consultation and took place in February and March 2005.

In addition, workshops were undertaken with Willesden Area Consultative Forum on 21st September; in Brent Town Hall on 19th October and Queen’s Park Community School on 20th October. The Issues and Options consultation period ran from 8th September to 21st October 2005. The Issues and Options consultation document was advertised in the local press, in Brent magazine, Brent Council’s website, display of posters, leaflets and consultation materials (questionnaires) in Council main receptions and all libraries. All residents, businesses and other parties on the planning department’s consultation database were notified by direct mail. The consultation document included a questionnaire for the local community and key stakeholders to fill in. Separate questionnaires were also provided in the Council libraries, one stop shop service offices and online.

  • A Transformational Year of Growth for the Company Following the Completion of the All-Share Merger with Medicx Fund Limited (“Medicx”) on 14 March 2019
    Primary Health Properties PLC Primary Health Properties PLC Annual Report 2019 Annual Report 2019 A transformational year of growth “ 2019 has been a transformational year in PHP’s history following the completion of the all-share merger with MedicX in March 2019, bringing together two high quality and complementary portfolios in the UK and Ireland. The business provides a much stronger platform for the future and has already created significant value delivering a total shareholder return of 49.2% in the year. We have also delivered the operating synergies of £4.0 million per annum outlined at the time of the merger, as well as a 50bp reduction in the average cost of debt. We have continued to selectively grow the enlarged portfolio, particularly in Ireland where we believe there is a significant opportunity, and further strengthened the balance sheet with a successful, oversubscribed £100 million equity issue, £150 million unsecured convertible bond issue and €70 million Euro-denominated private placement loan note. PHP’s high quality portfolio and capital base have helped to deliver another year of strong earnings performance and our 23rd consecutive year of dividend growth. Continuing improvements to the rental growth outlook and further reductions in the cost of finance will help to maintain our strategy of paying a progressive dividend to shareholders which is fully covered by earnings, as we look forward to the future with confidence.” Harry Hyman Managing Director Strategic report Corporate governance Financial statements Further

  • Executive Compensation in UK Property Companies
    J Real Estate Finan Econ (2008) 36:405–426 DOI 10.1007/s11146-008-9107-5 Executive Compensation in UK Property Companies Piet M. A. Eichholtz & Nils Kok & Roger Otten Published online: 29 January 2008 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract We study the drivers of executive compensation in the listed UK property sector. The UK provides an excellent opportunity to analyze executive compensation due to high transparency in the different components of executive compensation. We show that company size is the most important variable in explaining the level of executive compensation. We find that absolute and relative share performance significantly explains long-term compensation, that management style has a distinct influence on the level of executive compensation, and that using alternative monitoring mechanisms (institutional shareholders, debtholders, and outside direc- tors) leads to higher levels of long-term incentives. We find only weak evidence of pay-performance sensitivity for both cash and long-term compensation. Executive shareholdings provide a much stronger link between pay and performance than does executive compensation. Keywords Corporate governance . Executive compensation . Real estate JEL Classification G34 . G35 . J33 Introduction Recently, the often very extensive executive compensation packages, which were originally designed to alleviate the agency problem between managers and shareholders, have attracted intense scrutiny by regulators, the general public, and academics. This scrutiny is fuelled by recent corporate scandals at companies such as Ahold and Enron, and by management pay hikes at times of worker lay-offs. Therefore, more emphasis has been put on the structure of executive compensation packages. P. M. A. Eichholtz (*) : N.

  • Primary Health Properties Plc (Lon: Php)
    PRIMARY HEALTH PROPERTIES PLC (LON: PHP) 20 February 2020 Real Estate Primary Health Properties - Winning returns, lowest costs 52-WEEK HIGH £163.40 52-WEEK LOW £116.20 Strong results for 2019, well positioned for 2020 PRICE £161.80 MARKET CAP MLN £1,946.08 Primary Health Properties PLC (LON:PHP) recently announced its full-year results to December 2019. These were in line with our forecast and confirmed a strong year for the company. Earnings per share as measured by the adjusted EPRA EPS (see footnotes to the table) grew by 5.8%, and the Share Price dividend (full-year total) was increased to 5.6p. Following the transformational merger with MedicX (another primary healthcare real estate investment trust, or REIT) in March 2019, the company has fully delivered on the key merger objectives – integrating the companies, a reduction of £4mln in the cost base, and financing cost reduced by half a percentage point to 3.5%. The success of the merger was a significant contributor to the strong share performance in the year, in our view. Drivers for 2020 Major Shareholders With the merger objectives largely complete, we believe that the focus for 2020 returns to the more organic value drivers. The company has six new Blackrock inc 5.0% developments on site for completion in 2020, and a pipeline of property Investec Wealth & Investment 5.0% acquisition targets. Furthermore, we expect to see more asset management CCLA Investment Management 4.9% projects to increase the value of the existing portfolio. In addition, we believe Shares in issue 1,216,321,774 that there will be a continuation of the improved trend in rental uplifts in the Avg Three-month trading 3,013,559 UK market.
