On behalf of

10 November 2014

Dear Sirs,

Re: Seven Sisters Regeneration

I write to you on behalf of Grainger Seven Sisters Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Grainger

plc) to provide an update on the Seven Sisters Regeneration project. As you may be aware

Haringey Council granted planning permission in 2012 for the redevelopment of the site

bounded by Tottenham High Road, West Green Road, Suffield Road and Seven Sisters

Road, which includes the old Wards department store building. The development will deliver:

much needed new homes; a new home for the Seven Sisters Market; new shops for both

high street names and independent local businesses; and an improved public realm. As the

developer, Grainger is committed to this regeneration scheme.

Grainger is party to a development agreement with Haringey Council for this regeneration

project. Between Grainger, the Council and LUL, over two thirds of the development site

including that part which accommodates Seven Sisters Market is already owned.

The remainder of the site is in third party ownership and Grainger wishes to acquire these

interests to enable delivery of the development. I am writing to you because it is understood

that you have a property interest in the development site. Grainger wishes to discuss the

possibility of acquiring this interest from you. You may have been involved in similar

discussions previously with Grainger and it is Grainger’s intention to further those

discussions. You can expect to hear from us again shortly in this respect. In accordance

with previous arrangements we have not written to the occupiers of your properties on the

basis you will liaise with them in connection with the implications of the project. We do

however look forward to working with you in this regard at the appropriate time.

Grainger will take all reasonable steps to acquire the requisite third party land interests by

agreement. However, if this is not achievable, Haringey Council (as local planning authority)

resolved on 15 July 2014 that ‘in principle’ it is prepared to use its compulsory purchase

powers to acquire outstanding third party land interests in the development site where

acquisition by agreement by Grainger is not reached. A further Haringey Council Committee

decision would be required before such powers could be used. However, as noted, Grainger

very much hopes to secure the acquisition of your interest (and the other land required for

the re-development scheme) through negotiation and agreement, thus avoiding the need for

any Compulsory Purchase Order to be made.

For your information, Union Surveyors and CBRE have been appointed by Grainger to

advise on valuation and to assist with negotiations with landowners. Grainger will be asking

Union or CBRE to contact you shortly concerning the possible acquisition of your interest.

Dear Ms Afghan,

255-259 HIGH ROAD, SEVEN SISTERS, N15; SEVEN SISTERS REGENERATION

I write further to various correspondence of the 27th July 2016, 25th August 2016, 18th November 2016, 12th December 2016 and the 4th January 2017 to yourself and your solicitor, Mr George Sa’id of George Anthony Andrews Solicitors, in respect of the Wards Corner Regeneration Scheme.

CBRE are appointed property advisors to the scheme and are working with Grainger and LB Haringey assisting with acquisitions and the Compulsory Purchase Order. We have for some months been seeking to progress negotiations with you in respect of the regeneration scheme and the business you operate at 255-259 High Road, Seven Sisters.

To date, our attempts to develop negotiations have not progressed, but we remain keen to engage with you regarding your property interest and business requirements. We appreciate that news of the regeneration proposals and the making of a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) may be unsettling news. It is our experience that early dialogue and discussion is key to bringing about more certainty and minimising disruption to your business and working on a solution which assists your business to continue to trade. I would kindly ask that you contact me by either a phone call, or email in order that we can progress discussions and see whether we may be able to address the issues you have raised in your objection to the CPO.

It is our experience of regeneration schemes that in most cases, businesses will relocate to alternative accommodation at or around the time at which possession of their property is required for the regeneration. More often than not, it is to the benefit of business occupiers that such an agreement is reached in advance of a CPO in order to bring about more certainty and provide more time to effect an orderly relocation of a business. Grainger and the Council are keen to progress such discussions as soon as possible in order to secure a mutually agreeable outcome.

Should your property interest be compulsorily acquired, compensation would be assessed using the Statutory Compensation Code. Under the Code, business occupiers are entitled to compensation to reimburse them for the costs involved in relocating their business to alternative premises. Main heads of claim can include the cost of securing a new lease, agents cost, removals & moving f stock, finding and adapting new premises, a contribution to fit out costs based upon the value of

that left behind, professional advisor costs and a statutory loss payment. We could furthermore pay any temporary loss in profits attributable to the relocation subject to providing supporting evidence. All claims would be assessed on the basis of a claimant acting reasonably and seeking to mitigate their loss. In terms of the value of such a claim, in the absence of dialogue and without sight of information on your business and relocation requirements it is difficult for us to provide an accurate opinion of the level of compensation that may be due. Notwithstanding this, I sense that it may be helpful for us to provide an outline assessment of what compensation may become due on the basis your business relocating using publically available information and our experience of relocation costs in similar circumstances. Our assessment amounts to £80,000 which would be subject to having sight of the information listed below. Receipt of this information and with further discussion of your circumstances will allow us to confirm and adjust our assumptions as appropriate.

a. A copy of your lease and latest rent review memorandum. b. A list of staff, their salaries and length of service. c. Full details of any Landlord approved improvements you have made to the property during the last 5 years.

As stated, I would be grateful if you could contact me at your earliest convenience in order to arrange time to meet. Presently we could meet you at any of the following times:

• Afternoon of the 7th February • Afternoon of the 9th February • 10th February • Afternoon of the 14th February

It would furthermore assist in discussions if you were able to forward the aforementioned information at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you, Yours sincerely

As explained in our last correspondence to you on the 30th January 2015, we thought it might be helpful to set out the potential compensation that would flow from Grainger’s acquisition of your business and property interest. It remains our intention to bring about a situation whereby we might come to an arrangement that would provide more certainty in respect of what you might expect in terms of compensation, and more certainty to Grainger in respect of being able to call for possession of the property when it is required for their project. In order for us to begin the process of assessing compensation, we requested some information from you concerning your business and lease arrangements. As I trust you will appreciate following our discussions, it is difficult for us to form an accurate opinion on value without such information. Notwithstanding this, we have now made a proposal to you of £250,000 for the value of your business and £100,000 for your remaining lease interest. We could seek to formalise this offer which at this stage would only be subject to one condition, being that we do not complete a transfer of the lease until Grainger is in possession of the freehold interest from Mr Patel. In this regard we will now be in contact with Mr Patel to progress negotiations. I have explained that in addition to the offer above we would seek to add for any redundancy costs and costs of business closure including professional costs reasonably incurred. We of course remain willing to reconsider the level of our offer subject to receiving the requested information set out below so that we may confirm and adjust our assumptions if appropriate:

WITHOUT PREJUDICE Dear Sirs, 255-259 HIGH ROAD, LONDON, N15 I am writing to you with reference to your long leasehold interest in 255-259 High Road, currently trading as The Beauty Shop. We have made several attempts to contact you in regards to your interest. We are yet to receive a written response to letters sent to you in November 2014 and January 2015. Attempts to contact you by telephone have also been unsuccessful. The correspondence sent has sought to explain the current situation regarding the Grainger Seven Sisters Regeneration project. Grainger is currently in the process of entering negotiations with owners and occupiers to acquire property required within the development site. Grainger is committed to taking all reasonable steps to acquire all the property interests by agreement. Grainger is in a position to purchase your property as soon as you are ready or willing to sell. Arrangements could be made for your business to remain at least until May 2016, when it is anticipated that construction works will begin. We have estimated the value of your property based on its rateable value and subject to inspection could recommend an offer of £400,000 (four hundred thousand pounds). In addition to this sum you will be entitled to an additional 10% (£40,000) and all professional costs associated with transfer of the property. We would prefer to meet and discuss this with you or your advisers before putting together a formal offer which could then capture your specific requirements under the terms and conditions of an agreement. We recognise that in addition to the value of your property there will be implications for your business and that for this you need to be properly compensated. In our experience it can take longer than you expect to find suitable premises for relocation and we would therefore like to start discussing this with you now. If you want CBRE to help in the property search we have instructions to do so and would need information from you to focus the search (e.g. size, location, user, other special requirements). If you prefer to use your own advisers we can provide assurances on cost reimbursement as long as it is agreed in advance.

Could you please review the proposal and come back with a response at your earliest convenience. We believe the sooner we are able to discuss this proposal, the more likely it will be that a satisfactory, mutually agreeable outcome will result. If you would like to give us some dates when you are available to meet we will arrange to come and see you. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely

Dear Sirs, 9-11 WEST GREEN ROAD, LONDON, N15

I write further to our written proposal to you on the 29th January 2015 and our subsequent telephone conversation in connection with this matter. The proposal outlined was a Put and Call Option which appeared to us to provide the right level of flexibility and certainty for both parties and during our telephone conversation on 17 February 2015 you confirmed you had no issue with the framework as set out. What you really wanted however was an indication from Grainger as to the value it puts on your investment in order for you to contemplate appropriate next steps. We have said that we would have preferred to see an up to date copy of your lease and latest rent review memorandum before making an offer but we are also keen to make progress with these negotiations. We understand from our discussions with you and your tenants that the current lease is for 43 years, runs until March 2024 and that the rent passing is £40,000 per annum. On this basis we have carried out some market research to establish both availability of and potential capital cost of replacing this investment in your portfolio. The following table provides recent evidence of transactions and on market investment opportunities.

Using this as comparable evidence the value of your investment at West Green Road is going to be in the region of £500,000, or an equivalent yield of 8%. In addition to this, because of the nature of this transaction, you will be entitled to receive another 7.5% as a statutory loss payment. Further, your costs of reinvestment including Stamp Duty Land Tax (based on an equivalent value) would be reimbursed providing you reinvest in a UK property within 12 months of this transaction. Property Value £500,000 Loss Payment £37,500 Reinvestment SDLT £20,000 Agent £5,000 Legal £3,750 Total £566,250 This provides you with an indicative figure subject to sight of the lease. If you think we have missed anything that ought to be considered in addition please let me know. I trust however that this gives us a starting point for developing terms for an agreement between the parties and I look forward to hearing from you so that we may progress. Yours sincerely

objectors on the progress of the CPO, to explain more about the scheme and give those who attended the

opportunity to put any questions to the Council and Grainger, the developer, regarding the reasons behind

your objection.

A Pre-Inquiry Meeting was held on 3 May 2017 at the Haringey Civic Centre. . This was a public meeting

attended by the Council, Grainger and a number of objectors and their representatives, and the purpose of

this meeting was to assist the Inspector in making some procedural directions in advance of the Inquiry.

Further information on the CPO can be found on the Council’s website at www.haringey.gov.uk/wards-

corner.

The Council remains keen to ensure that you have the opportunity to consider its Statement of Case and

the option to discuss any matters relating to your objection. It also encourages a negotiated settlement to

47

be made ahead of the public inquiry. On this point we are aware that you have been in dialogue with

Brendan O’Connor of CBRE on behalf of Grainger regarding your property interest in the Order Site. I

would encourage you to continue those discussions with a view to reaching a settlement prior to the Public

Inquiry. The Council has also received your Statement of Case and is considering your evidence.

The Council is willing to meet with you should you wish to discuss this further and would also like to hear

from you to discuss your objection to the CPO. Please contact the CPO Project Team on 020 8489 6930

or email [email protected] on any of these matters or to set up a meeting.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Helen Fisher

Director of Regeneration

Brendan,

As stated when we met, I do not agree that there is a need to provide the bin store / cycle storage in the retail element as this can be provided in the current delivery area without losing that delivery area.

I have said that I would provide more information on the nature of the business, and I therefore set out below some notes on Airmoss as a business:

· Tottenham Wine is well established, and whilst the company has a website and facebook account,custom has built up over many years through word of mouth;

· The property is freehold owner-occupied with no rent payable. This enables TW to offer evenlower prices where it is attractive to do, i.e. there is flexibility in the business;

· TW do not undertake customer analysis or hold records of customers;· It is not uncommon for there to be 5 – 10 ‘wholesale’ sales a week. By wholesale, this is where a

customer orders in excess of £200 worth of purchases in a single transaction.  Customers maycome into the unit in advance, and order and pay to be collected later, or telephone in and thencollect.  Some customers may park in Westerfield Road car park, place their order and then driveround to collect;

· Parking outside the property is single yellow line, and therefore enables loading to take place ifthis is done quickly;

· Examples of receipts for 19th and 20th are attached as an example of wholesale trading.  This is inaddition to retail trading;

· TW purchases stock principally from 4 cash and carry stores:o Imperial Cash and Carry (Edmonton)o Venus Cash and Carry (Edmonton)o Bestway (Park Royal)o HT & Co (Park Royal)

· TW sell many items with a low margin but make much greater margins on certain and specialistlines

You have confirmed that Grainger would not be willing to treat with Airmoss on the basis of an extinguishment of the business, but that agreement has been reached with other parties on the basis of an assumed relocation in order to draw a line under the compensation element.  You have said that you would consider options for bases of agreement.  Clearly any agreement on that basis would need to include a premium for the risk that Airmoss takes going forward.

Let’s take this forward when I return on 19th June.

Kind regards,

Jane

Jane,

Further to our conversation on Tuesday, I am pleased to hear you have now had opportunity to discuss with your client the option of entering into a flexible arrangement that might facilitate a relocation of the business ahead of a CPO. You said you expect to revert on this shortly in order that we can make progress on the disturbance element of a possible settlement. In the meantime, I said I would put to you our thoughts on the capital value of the property following

our meeting on the 16th May and your colleagues follow up email setting out the rationale behind the valuation.

We are a distance apart on our valuations at £702k and £1.033m. Whilst we now have some common ground in terms of the quantum of development opportunity in the upper parts and also many of the inputs in a valuations. I sense the main sensitivities to surround the capitalisation of the rental income and floor areas .

I have reviewed the comparables which are said to support a 5% capitalisation yield on the rental income. The issue in these auction comparables is that they incorporate an amount of development and hope value in the price achieved. 22/24 High Street has a lapsed consent for 9 flats so the yield is reflective of the development opportunity as well as the retail income; likely to be heavily weighted towards the former. 56/68 High Road is a similar situation in that there is a development / asset management opportunity in the residential conversion of the upper parts which will likely have driven the auction bid price over and above that which would have been bid for an income stream in isolation.

In the case of 1a-1b WGR, to apply the 5% yield from these assets to the retail income only and then value the upper parts separately would, in a way, be a double count.

On the floor areas, we have differing areas. I sense this is in part because I have relied on different measurement sources and assumptions as our negotiations progressed, (firstly VOA assessments, then your inspection measurements, and now various planning consent plans). In order that we are working on the same basis, attached is the ‘Option 3’ plan your client had produced upon which we are basing the valuation of the upper parts. The plan is to scale and likely of a better accuracy than that we could achieve. I propose we use this as a basis of our valuation and I have calculated the floor areas as marked on the document. The plan includes

45

Page 97: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

the cycle and bin storage within the sales space as I am not sure this could be located within the garage area as this this would conflict with the use of the space physically, practically and in leasing and security terms. I mentioned a property that recently sold at auction, the particulars of which are attached. The property is comprised of two shop units merged into one with two storeys of residential accommodation in the upper parts. Although larger, it does share some attributes of your clients property and looking at this transaction on an overall basis and considering its size I sense our £700k offer not to be out of line with this evidence. The yield on this transaction equates to 8% and I do not see a major development opportunity in the asset having already had the upper parts converted. Finally, we discussed the matter of £ / sq ft capital value comparisons. I am not sure these are particularly useful as the challenge is that high street properties have widely differing features and varied attributes unique to each property. Examples could be future development opportunities, whether the upper parts can be converted, whether the uppers are leased on AST’s or sold off on long leases. I think this issue is borne out in the range of £/sq ft rates in the evidence. I look forward to hearing from you.

Appendix 2 - Proposed Plan.pdfAppendix 3 - Investment Comparables.pdfAppendix 4 - Residential Comparables.xlsx

Hi Brendan,

Subject to contract

Following our meeting, we have attached our revised valuation of the property (Appendix 1).

Ground Floor Retail

As discussed, we have measured the retail area ITZA to be 562 sq ft. We have proposed that the refuse storage / cycle parking would be provided within the garage area (as highlighted in Appendix 2). This area is 3.2m wide and therefore any delivery ability would not be affected.

Having reviewed the local retail market, we do not feel that £45 ITZA is unreasonable and are therefore happy to agree with this assumption.

You have capitalised the retail income at 7.50%, resulting in a capital value of the retail space of £296,000, which equates to £185 per sq ft.

We have capitalised our retail income at 5.00%, resulting in a capital value for the retail space of £506,000, equating to £317 per sq ft. As Appendix 3 shows, this is still below any comparable evidence but we are of the opinion is more reflective of what a freehold retail unit is worth.

First Floor Residential

In line with the plans that were part of the pre-app, we have assumed that the first floor is converted into 2 x studios and 1 x one bedroom flat. Although the pre-app response suggested that the units did not meet the minimum space requirements, however it is marginal so the layout could be reconfigured to meet these requirements (37 sq m and 50 sq m).

Comparable evidence for apartments above commercial space is limited, however we have attached some comparable evidence (Appendix 4) from which we have priced the three proposed apartments as follows:

Unit Type Size (sq m) Size (sq ft) Price Price psf

1-bed flat 50 538 £280,000 £520Studio 37 398 £250,000 £628Studio 37 398 £250,000 £628

124 1,335 £780,000 £584

Based on this pricing, we have adopted a sale rate of £584 per sq ft in our appraisal.

We agree with your build cost assumption of £95 per sq ft and have retained this. However, we have adjusted professional fees to 10% and the profit on cost to 15% as we feel that they are more reflective of the current market.

Based on the above, we have valued the residential elements at £598,471.

Total Value

Ground Floor Retail £506,000

43

Page 99: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

First Floor Residential £598,471Gross Value £1,104,471Less purchaser costs (6.80%) -£75,104Net Value £1,033,785

Based on these calculations, the existing value of the property is £1,033,785, equating to £331 per sq ft which is at the bottom end of the comparable sales range (Appendix 1). The latest valuation you provided gives a value of £702,000, equating to £225 per sq ft. This is significantly below any of the comparable evidence in Appendix 3.

Please give Jane or myself a call if you would like to discuss.

Kind Regards

Pre_Application_Planning_Advice_1A West Green Road_N15.pdfOPTION 3.pdf1a-1b WGR Option 3 Floor Areas.pdf

Jane,

Ahead of our meeting tomorrow I have looked at our valuation again to see where there might be adjustments. When we spoke on the telephone we ran through the inputs on the valuation; I think we are actually in a similar place on many of the of the items including refurbishment rates, development costs and, I think, residential values. It is difficult to say for sure however without sight of your figures or valuation position. Our main difference I sense is in the impact of the residential conversion of the upper parts upon the areas and valuation of the ground floor sales space area.

The ‘Option 3’ conversion plan your Clients architects produced, and received generally positive pre-app planning advice upon, has formed the basis of our valuation proposal. As per the advice, there is a requirement for cycle and refuse storage within the building. The plan however does not feature such storage. We know from discussions with other affected parties that such space on the first floor is not acceptable in planning terms, so such facilities would need to be on the ground floor. I had previously accounted for this space in my floor area calculations on the assumption that space would be taken out of the garage area, which I think was the original thinking of your clients designers in their withdrawn planning application from last year.

The pre-application advice now says that this space cannot be located in the garage area and must be provided elsewhere in the building. I have adjusted the plan with an assumed cycle / waste storage location as attached which equates to a floor area of 494 sq ft ITZA rather than 562 Sq ft ITZA as per your calculations. Inputting these revised areas to the valuation pushes our figure to a £702,000 capital value to which would be added the usual statutory loss and reinvestment costs.

I also looked again at the Zone A rate for the space. Discussions with Paul Simon Seaton, who is a local agent active in the area, suggests that £38.50psf Zone A to be an appropriate rate, based upon a recently agreed lease renewal at 14 West Green Road, nearly opposite your clients property. There could be an argument therefore to say we have applied a too positive a rate on the sales space.

You mentioned the matter of a business extinguishment value when we spoke which surprised me as I was working on the basis that your client would relocate his business, as is common in most CPO cases, and we could look to structure an arrangement around that assumption; we can discuss this further when we meet.

Best Regards,

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

I have been reviewing the planning position / floor areas of the Airmoss property:

Residential areas

On the planning / residential conversion point, I attach the Council’s Pre-Application Planning Advice.  This confirms the submitted documents were A – the existing plans and elevations, and B – the proposed, being B105, B107 and B108.  The Advice Note confirms that:

· Change of use of first floor is acceptable;· The delivery space should be retained as such (Option drawing B105 shows this retained)· The two studio flats are of an inadequate size.  In order to overcome that objection, the two studio

flats could be amalgamated to form one flat (as suggested by the Council).  The area of theresidential on first floor would therefore be 126 sq.m. (1,356 sq. ft.).

· The GIA is confirmed as 134 sq.m. (1,442 sq.ft.)· The conversion of the first floor can be done under permitted development rights.· The increase in the size of the first floor rear addition is considered acceptable.

Retail areas

Using my annotated plan (with your additional annotations also, on which I have commented), and

Hi Jane,

With apologies for delay in response, as you are aware I have recently been on leave.

I called earlier regarding your email below. I think it would be useful for us to have a discussion when you are free in order to discuss the points you raise on our valuation and to understand the outcome of your meeting with your client in respect of the business side of matters.

In the meantime I have considered what you say in your email in our valuation as follows;

· Change of use of first floor is acceptable;Agreed; our offers to date have been based on this assumption; The pre-app adviceconfirming our assumption is useful, thank you.

· The delivery space should be retained as such (Option drawing B105 shows this retained) Noted, the advice goes on to say that cycle & waste storage needs to be accommodated within the development, the plan does not appear to show this but perhaps you have incorporated in your retail floor area calcs?

· The two studio flats are of an inadequate size. In order to overcome that objection, the two studio flats could be amalgamated to form one flat (as suggested by the Council). The area of the residential on first floor would therefore be 126 sq.m. (1,356 sq. ft.).

Noted. As above, the principle of resi use on first floor is accepted, I agree we proceed on basis of 2 flats as you suggested. Our last offer was on a 2 flat assumption although based on previous plans and floor areas you client had produced. I would be comfortable adopting your floor areas in the valuation if you can share workings / how the areas were arrived at.

· The GIA is confirmed as 134 sq.m. (1,442 sq.ft.) As above

· The conversion of the first floor can be done under permitted development rights. Agreed, as per pre-app advice.

· The increase in the size of the first floor rear addition is considered acceptable. Agreed, as per pre-app advice.

For the retail area, if you can share the working you referred I can see if we can adopt these in the valuation.

There are some sensitivities in the valuation that we can work with. As mentioned, I sense a discussion would be worthwhile so we can firm up on the sensitivities, agree an overall approach to how we are to value your clients interest and, particularly, the assumptions we should adopt on the business side of matters.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards,

Grainger have appointed a local commercial property agent to conduct a search for properties that might be available in the market and serve as potential relocation properties for businesses expected to be displaced because of the scheme.

The attached schedule includes details of properties we have identified in order which I trust may be of use in discussions with your client.

P(00)01E.PDFReply to Airmoss Ltd via Montagu Evans 26.1.17.pdf170222 Feb Offer Valuation Calculation Airmoss 1a - 1b West Green Road.xlsx

Jane,

We have now been advised of an inquiry date by the Planning Inspectorate; 11th July 2017. Naturally, you will be advised formally in due course, but thought this would be useful to know informally in the meantime.

Before we met on the 2nd February, we made a third offer for your clients property interest including the value in converting the upper storage parts of the premises and remodelling the ground floor access. In light of plans you client submitted for his Prior Approval application I have recalculated the offer to take account of the more accurate floor areas. The revised valuation amounts to £655,000 as attached.

Following our discussion on the possibility of Mr Gill returning to the completed scheme. I have spoken to Grainger regarding the size of retail units which are to be made available to local businesses on a market terms leasehold basis, the sizes are as follows:  

Unit 14  1,012 sq ftUnit 15  883 sq ftUnit 16  980 sq ftUnit 17  807 sq ftUnit 18  452 sq ftUnit 19  441 sq ft

Whilst, due to the circa 2 year construction programme, a unit within the scheme will not likely serve as a satisfactory direct relocation premises, Grainger would be pleased to discuss further. I understand there is also interest in a unit from another off-licence operator who is to be displaced due to the regeneration; there is only likely to be appetite for one off-licence given the number of units however.

Turning to the business relocation, when we met I set out my thoughts that Mr Gill’s business could be considered as being comprised of two parts; an off-licence operation which typically rely on a high street location, and a his wholesale operation which relies on the large amount of storage currently available in his property. I am not aware of what the proportional split is, but one could assume it to be weighted toward  the wholesale on the basis of the promotional material on Mr Gill’s website.

In order to realise the value of the upper parts, I think it realistic that the wholesale part of the business reliant on storage would need to relocate. As such, I sense it would be reasonable to assume that Mr Gill would split his operations into the retail operation that would presumably remain on site, and his wholesale operation which would move to a storage / lockup type accommodation. In order that we can make progress on ascertaining a disturbance assessment

Page 115: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

 that we can include in an offer, can you advise your thoughts on whether this might be an agreed scenario we can adopt in order to guide future negotiations, or advise of other scenarios you think would be appropriate? 

Finally, from reviewing of the file I see the letter from Haringey Council to you dated 27th

 January 2017 (attached) made the offer of a meeting from the Council and ourselves (as the relevant agents). The wording appears ambiguous and I am not sure if the Council are to contact you with some dates to meet or if you are to call the Council if you wish to meet (or whether such a meeting is even required given we met shortly thereafter and are in correspondence). Question is, do you wish to take the Council up on an offer of a meeting or are you happy for discussions to continue agent to agent? If you wish to meet with the Council please provide some suggested dates and I can take that to Haringey to arrange. I look forward to hearing from you, Best Regards, Brendan Brendan O’Connor | Senior Surveyor CBRE Ltd | Compulsory PurchaseHenrietta House | Henrietta Place | London | W1G 0NBDDI +44 20 7182 2445 | F +44 20 7182 2001 | M +44 7799 587818 | Int 22445brendan.o’[email protected] | www.cbre.co.uk | www.cbre.co.uk/compulsorypurchase

Project) Compulsory Purchase Order 2016

Dear Sir,

The London Borough of Haringey (Wards Corner Regeneration Project) Compulsory Purchase Order 2016

Thank you for your letter dated 18th January 2017, responding to my letter acknowledging your client, Airmoss Limited’s, objections to the above CPO. I note your position that your client does not intend to withdraw their objection at this stage.

I understand from discussions with agents CBRE that, aside from more recent correspondence regarding fees, CBRE contacted Montagu Evans on the 2nd November 2016, referring to your client’s objection.This correspondence highlighted a wish to progress with valuation discussions in respect of the upper parts of your client’s property and requesting an update on your client’s ongoing liaison with their appointed planner & architect.

The Council has been kept up to date on CBRE discussions with Montagu Evans, which have taken place since October 2015 seeking to bring about a negotiated settlement with your client. Three offers have been put forth to date, with Grainger also providing an undertaking on your fees in order that your client can seek further professional advice to assist in the assessment of valuation of the upper parts of your client’s property. I note CBRE have been in touch with you again this week to continue negotiations.

I would like to offer you and your client a meeting with the Council, Grainger and the relevant agents to discuss your clients concerns and objections. Barbara Wright, CPO Project Manager, will contact you with some possible dates to meet. Please contact Barbara by telephone on 0208 489 3651 or by email [email protected] if you would like to discuss the content of this letter further or to discuss the proposed meeting.

As a remaining objector, your client will be receiving a copy of the Council’s Statement of Case on 2ndFebruary 2017. This sets out the Council’s position in further detail including the response on the objections received.

Yours faithfully,

Helen Fisher Director, Tottenham Regeneration Programme

I confirm the following points:

Neither the Council, Grainger, nor any agent of either has engaged meaningfully with our client sincethe objection was submitted.

Neither the Council, Grainger, or any agent has sought to resolve any of the issues raised in theobjection, in particular that –

o Our client does not consider that there is a compelling case in the public interest that justifiesinterference with private interests;

o The Council has not taken reasonable steps to negotiate with our client to acquire our client’s

freehold by agreement, such that the test that the Order is only made as a last resort is far frombeing met;

o There is no meaningful or certain protection afforded to local businesses, traders and residentsby the Scheme or the s.106 Agreement;

o The Council or Developer has not sought to secure a suitable opportunity for accommodation

for my client’s business and as such s.233 (5) of the Town and Country Planning Act has not been adhered to;

o There is no evidence provided which demonstrates that the Scheme is viable and will be

delivered;

o A Scheme of regeneration can be achieved by other means. I am surprised that your letter states that the Council, Grainger and various professional agents appointed to the project are continuing efforts to engage with and settle negotiations with affected parties as far as possible. We have not found that to be the case. I confirm that our client has no reason to withdraw its objections as none of the points of objection have been addressed, and my client will be attending the Public Inquiry. I would be grateful if you acknowledge receipt of this letter. Yours faithfully

In addition, the Council and aforementioned personnel would be happy to meet with you to discuss your objection and any concerns regarding the CPO.

Jane,

When we spoke before Christmas you said that your client would be interested in returning to the completed scheme. We were able to discuss this with our client earlier this week and I am pleased to inform you that this is something Grainger would be keen to explore on the basis of a letting on market terms. Attached is a floor plan from the consented scheme in which you can see units of various sizes on West Green Road. Perhaps you could share this with your client to ascertain his views. I suspect the units may be a little small given the volume of stock your client needs to hold as part of his wholesale business. As an alternative I attached particulars of various commercial properties in North London which I understand are presently available on

26

Page 122: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

 the market.

In terms of our offer, you requested to see particulars of properties, within Zone 3, and a stone’s throw from a tube station , where freeholds similar to your clients property are available for a similar price.  Our difficulty is in finding such comparables; if there were a direct comparable we could rely on to ascertain a price then I would use that in order to make our valuation task much more straightforward.

Realistically, I sense we are going to need to build up a valuation of the property from the ground up but it is difficult to negotiate without having received a counteroffer or having any sense of where your client is coming from in valuation terms. For ease, I attach our correspondence from February last year which I think essentially sets out the valuation issues we still need to deal with.

Primarily we need to address the issue of valuation of the upper parts; your clients liaison with planners & architects has been ongoing for some time. It would aid matters greatly if you could share details of what the planners have stated, the size of flats and their quantum. It would also be useful to understand how development of the upper parts would be achieved in physical terms and how this would impact the operations of the business. It was envisaged that the two fee undertakings provided to date would have brought about some further consideration and correspondence on these matters in order to counter our offer or provide a way forward on adjusting the valuation if appropriate. In discussions with another affected party, they have used the past year to progress a planning application in order to clearly demonstrate the value of their upper parts and negotiations are progressing on that basis.

Notwithstanding this, given the time elapsed since our offer was made I have revisited it and revised the calculations to reflect our current thinking on values in Seven Sisters which we have developed in the course negotiations and discussions with other affected parties. Our revised offer amounts to £565,500 the details of which are attached.

I think it would be useful to get a date in the diary to discuss this further and explore how the structure of how a deal might be progressed.

To this end can I suggest 27th January 2.30pm or any afternoon of the 30th Jan, 2nd or 3rd Feb?

I look forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards,

Brendan

Grainger are likely to query me as to work the work carried out behind the invoice as all they will have seen is the objection letter and the undertaking did not extend to objecting to the order etc. Using the time between now and the new year could you issue a timesheet with details of work undertaken and a request for payment. I can then present that to our client and subject to his agreement & approval you can then issue an invoice.

Hi Brendan,

Thank you for this update. As you will see from the objection letter, my client is seeking “equivalence” and has requested to come back into the completed development. Hopefully your client can also assist in a temporary position during the redevelopment (assuming a CPO is confirmed).

My client is continuing to liaise with the planners and I understand that flats at first floor would be consented, but it would be more of a ‘hope value’ for the future to increase the property by another storey.

To date, you have offered the sum of £450,000. I would be interested to see particulars of properties, within Zone 3, and a stone’s throw from a tube station, where freeholds similar to this are available for that kind of price.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Jane

Jane,

In the event yourself or your client wishes to attend, a CPO drop in event is to be held on Tuesday 15th November at the College of Haringey, Enfield & North East London, 5pm - 8pm. A flyer is attached with further details FYI.

We are now in receipt of your clients objection to the order and will be in touch again once we have opportunity to review it fully. In the meantime, I sense the main issue we need to grapple with is the treatment in valuation terms of the upper parts of your clients property. As you will recall, Grainger agreed to a further undertaking on costs in February this year; this was on the

Best Regards,

Hi Jane,

The expectation is for the CPO to be made in late September. Attached is a recent newsletter published by Grainger outlining the latest envisaged development timeline.

In terms of a ‘decent’ offer, I sense the main point of discussion we need to progress is the treatment in valuation terms of the upper parts. As explained I have some difficulty in seeing how the development of these parts can work without a prior relocation given the stock and operational requirements of your clients business. I think there may also be some difficulty in terms of constructability on what appears to be a quite a constrained site. Whilst our offer does incorporate some development value of the upper parts, it was my hope that your clients liaison with a planner/architect you referred to February might be able to shed more light on this and help steer our discussions; has anything come of this?

Grainger remains keen to come to an arrangement to acquire. Following your meeting with your client, perhaps you could put forward your thoughts on value?

 our assumptions surrounding the development of the upper parts. It is not our intention to ‘concoct’ an assessment to reduce an offer to your client, but rather to present an offer that reflects the value of the property and is consistent with the Compensation Code. Our initial offer was based on the existing use of the property, which we subsequently revised to take into account your point of redeveloping the upper parts into residential space. As is consistent with the code, we are following the principle that one cannot claim redevelopment value of the property and furthermore include the costs of disturbance that a property owner would have to bear to realise the benefit; to claim the benefit and the burden would involve an element of double counting.

From our inspection of the property we understand Tottenham Wine hold a wide variety of stock, far more diverse than your typical off-licence, which is densely stored on the first floor of the property. We understand TW sell wholesale and retail and also offer a sale and return service to customers. We have consequently reasoned that TW’s business model has a large on-site storage requirement and it would be very difficult to operate from a unit that would be rendered substantially smaller than that they presently occupy. I note your point on off-site storage however this would lead to additional cost overheads in terms of additional rent, management and wage costs to manage stock over two sites, not to mention inconvenience to the operation of the business and to customers.  

In terms of the impact of the redevelopment of the upper parts on TW’s occupation, we have reasoned the disturbance involved in constructing an additional floor and new roof would likely be substantial; the site is constrained having largely being ‘built out’ to the boundary of the site, part of the space to the front of the property is a Red Route and the open land to the rear is owned by a third party. A certain amount of remodelling and demolition would be required on the ground floor areas to provide access and a working area from which to construct the development.

With these factors combined we believe it more probable that if your client was to pursue the redevelopment of the upper parts, a decision would be taken to entirely relocate to other premises rather than accept the significant disruption and additional costs to the business. Such a course of action may furthermore present an opportunity to acquire a property more conducive to the running of the TW business, remove the issue of the construction disturbance, improve the constructability and costs of the development and also provide an opportunity to carry out refurbishment works to the whole ground floor area.

Our £30psf Zone A Rate is based upon Unit 3 252/254 High Road which let at £15,500 pa effective March 2015. I understand Costa Coffee at 261 High Road was let at £40,000 pa (£43psf Zone A) effective in June 2013, but as more prominent double fronted unit in better condition should be considered a superior property and require some discounting. This said, having reviewed once more I admit £30psf may be discounted too heavily and I would be happy to consider rental evidence that might point to a different figure.

I will keep you updated as to progress with the CPO and look forward to hearing from you once you have heard from your clients’ architects.

Best Regards,

Brendan,

Thank you for the email and providing the latest newsletter for this scheme.

I note the proposed timescales, which are looking fairly ambitious, but we will see.

I note that Grainger would like to agree terms by the middle of this year.  Clearly as the use of CPO powers is as a ‘last resort’ I would have expected Grainger to have been proactive in seeking to agree terms, and robust in its valuation approach.

Following your bullet points below:

1. I consider your assumption that conversion of the upper parts would render the premises unsuitable for continued use by Tottenham Wines (such that your assessment now excludes a disturbance payment) is simply concocted to reduce the offer being made.  TW would most likely secure off-site storage nearby, and I understand have looked into this.  TW would not need to undertake ‘considerable restructuring’.

2. I disagree entirely with your statement.  Again I consider this to be no more than a basis on which Grainger avoids making an offer of compensation for the value of the business.

3. My client is currently liaising with a planner/architect to take forward the development proposals for residential at first and second floors, and I will revert in due course on that aspect.

4. I note that you have applied £30 psf for Zone A retail here.  I would be interested in seeing the evidence upon which this is based and I would be grateful if you could now provide that.

Overall I consider the offer made to be derisory, and I can confirm that it is not acceptable to my client.  My client is however willing to see if a negotiated settlement can be reached.  In order to advise him in this regard, please can you confirm that my reasonable fees will be met by Grainger on a quarterly basis?  My fee basis is £225 per hour plus VAT, and I will use Graduate assistants as appropriate.  Graduate assistant’s time will be changed at £90 per hour plus VAT.

I look forward to hearing from you on the fee point and with any further updates on the CPO timeline.   I will revert to you on values once we have had further advice from the appointed architects.

Kind regards,

Jane

Hi Jane,

Happy new year to you also; I trust you enjoyed the break.

Further to my email late last year I attach a newsletter published by Grainger setting out the current indicative programme for the Seven Sisters CPO. The Order is being drafted presently and is expected to be published in early 2016.

Grainger remain keen to acquire by agreement in advance of the CPO; ideally to have terms agreed by the middle of this year with vacant possession to be secured early 2017. To this end, have you had any thoughts on our proposal of agreeing a transfer in principle with a future valuation date, or an agreement on value now subject to an inflationary adjustment to when the property is required for the scheme?

I have also had more thoughts about the value of the upper parts which are as follows;

1. Loss of use of the upper parts seems likely to render the premises unsuitable forcontinued occupation by Tottenham Wines – this or a considerable restructuring of thebusiness would be needed to manage the levels of stock currently held on the premises.

2. With this and the potentially significant construction disruption, vacant possessionwould in all likelihood be required for the entirety of the building for the duration of anyredevelopment works on the scale anticipated.

3. Colleagues have taken a look at build costs for small refurbishment and extensionprojects and we have used an overall build cost of £300k to £325k to run an outlinedevelopment appraisal. By reference to the plans you have provided, we have assumed

16

Page 136: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

two 2 bed flats could be accommodated within the footprint of the building and have made general allowances for professional fees, contingency and developers profit. Assuming the flats sold for say £250k each this indicates a residual profit in the order of £175k to £200k.

4. Turning to the retail space, conversion of the upper floors will remove the first floorstorage value, I have assumed it would also remove some space from the ground floorto provide for separate access, circulation and services to the residential above.Following the development of the upper parts the rental value of the retail premiseswould likely be reduced ITZA from 846 sq ft to 754 sq ft; Applying a £30psf Zone A rateand an 8% yield this equates to £266k of value having deducted purchasers costs.

On the basis of the assumptions above I am able to revise our offer for the capital value of the property to £450,000 to which would be added a statutory loss payment, professional fees and costs associated with acquiring another property but no disturbance payment in respect of relocating the business.

I would be glad to hear your thoughts in due course so that we might move towards a mutually agreeable outcome.

Best regards,

Brendan

Jane,

Thanks for returning my call last week; I said I would send you a follow up note on the status of the CPO and Grainger’s development programme.

As you will probably be aware, Haringey Council resolved in principle to use Compulsory Purchase Powers in July 2014. Haringey is now in the process of seeking formal cabinet resolution to make the Order which, all being well, is scheduled for November this year. Following this, the broad programme envisages having full control of the site by mid-2016 with possession for demolition expected to commence in Q1 2017.

As is usual, we have been working with affected parties to see if there might be any deals we can progress in parallel with the statutory process and where possible in advance of resorting to use of compulsory purchase powers. Particularly given the history of this development with its myriad of challenges and consequent delays, I can appreciate your client not being minded to move towards an advance transfer of the property whilst he believes values to be increasing in the area. Perhaps a way forward would be to agree the principle of a transfer to Grainger but with the valuation date set at a point in the future when the property is required for the scheme? Agreeing a price now subject to inflationary adjustment immediately prior to completion might be another approach.

I took it from our conversation that your client is concerned only to achieve a fair price for his property on the basis this should capture an amount in recognition of the upper floor of the

14

premises, currently used by the business for storage but likely to be more valuable if converted into residential accommodation. Any value arising from a change of use will need to reflect costs associated with securing and making the adaptations to the building. It would follow that the rest of the claim would need to be made so as to be consistent with this redevelopment. However, the level of investment required to create residential space with suitable access will in our view all but eliminate any significant uplift of the capital value today for this property. Our valuation is £300,000 to which we would add Rule 6 disturbance costs incurred in relocating the business, a statutory loss payment plus professional fees and costs associated with the negotiation and acquisition of the property.

Earlier in the year our client agreed to reimburse your firm the costs associated with preparing a measured survey of the premises for Mr Gill. This was agreed on the understanding we would receive a copy of the survey but despite payment having been made we have not yet seen the survey. Could you arrange for us to get a copy which we think may assist further investigation on planning and development opportunities at the property.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further in due course.

Best Regards,

Brendan

Afternoon Jane,

I called earlier, but caught you in a meeting. I am now working on the Grainger Seven Sisters regeneration project with Ethan and Stephen and called regarding 1A&B West Green Road.

We remain keen to progress matters with your client and have been asked to provide a progress update to Grainger. In this regard, I would be grateful if you could provide an update on your clients position and whether any of the relocation properties we suggested might meet his aspirations?

I will give you a call tomorrow.

Many thanks,

Brendan

I attach the floor plans.   The property comprises circa 1700 sq.ft. on the ground floor and 1500 sq.ft. on the first floor.

In my opinion, the first floor could readily provide residential accommodation and a second floor extension would also be reasonable having regard to the height of other properties here.  Access to the upper parts would be via a newly created entrance at ground floor level.

I note that you value the property at £300,000, but hopefully this is something you can review further.   The potential relocation properties sent through by Ethan were as follows:

1. New A1 Development. 270-274, West Green Road – approx. 1,485 sq ft, £730,000; £492 psf2. 258 High Road – approx. 1,632 sq ft, £600,000; £368 psf3. 213 Kentish Town Road – approx. 1378 sq ft. £650,000+ ; £472 psf.

258 the High Road is a poor unit in an inferior location. I pass it daily and it is nowhere near as busy at WGR by the tube station.

Please do pass through any further relocation properties that you find, and let me know as and when the Council makes its CPO.

In the interim, if you would like to put an offer to my client to purchase in advance of CPO, then please do let me know your offer figure so that I can relay this to him.

Jane

Jane,

Thank you for your response. In regards to the land at the rear of your clients unit. Grainger have identified the area to be kept clear to allow a demolition contractor to work as effectively as possible, not for safety provision. It may be possible to revisit your clients request upon the imminent receipt of the tenders complete with method statements. This process will established whether the area is required to facilitate the demolition.

At this stage we can neither agree nor disagree with your assessment of the freehold value of your clients property. We do recognise that all forthcoming valuations are to be in accordance with the compensation code.

In terms of fees, payment of the capped figure of £2,500 plus VAT is agreed. Could we request that all outputs that have resulted from your initial exercise be shared with us?

Please note the invoice is to be submitted to CBRE but addressed to Grainger as detailed below.

Dear Ethan,

Thanks for your email below.   I note your comments that the adjacent building is unsafe, but taking into account the hoarding line on Seven Sisters Road, which I assume indicates the necessary safety zone required between the building the public areas, I would have thought the land of interest to my client to the rear of the unit is well beyond the required safety zone and this should not therefore cause a problem.  Please can you review?

I confirm that my client is interested in acquiring retail premises within the North Circular around the quadrant of north west London.   His existing property is circa 1,250 – 1,500 sq.ft. and a similar size unit would be required.

I have now advised my client on the compulsory purchase process and compensation entitlement and I hope to be meeting with him shortly to discuss this further, and what offer at this time might be attractive to the company directors if Grainger wish to acquire the interest by private treaty.

I confirm that in terms of the freehold value, in the absence of the Grainger scheme, my client would have converted the first floor to residential and extended the property to also include for residential at second floor.  I would be grateful if you would confirm that you accept this in principle.

In terms of fees, the number of hours that I have spent to date since you confirmed you would meet reasonable fees is 11.75 @ £225 = £2,643.75 plus assistant surveyor time at 27hrs.  However, I note the agreed cap here is £2,500 plus VAT and I propose to now submit my invoice accordingly.  Please can you confirm to whom the invoice should be addressed?

I will be in touch shortly to progress negotiations, and please do let me know of any properties which you consider might be suitable for my client.

Kind regards,

Jane,

I hope you are well. We have a response from Grainger in regards to your clients request for the land to the rear of his unit to be leased to him until such time as it is required for the scheme. They have confirmed the adjacent building has been deemed unsafe and is to be demolished. Therefore no agreement can be put in place until said demolition has occurred. Grainger are currently targeting the building to be demolished by December 2015.

Do you have an update on progress from your side, including your clients identification of relocation criteria?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Ethan

JaneWe met with the client on Friday and they are still looking at this request. They have a concern that the adjacent building is scaffolded and potentially unsafe. Leaving anything in such close proximity is of concern but I think they may be persuaded to offer a licence which makes clear the risks to your client in occupying this space.When you have your plans of the unit to share please send them through. We will also carry out some market searches for relocation premises if you would like to let us know what criteria for that search your client may be seeking.Kind Regards,Stephen

Jane,With apologies for the delay, I now have my clients instructions to confirm your fee proposal as set out below. The cap will be £2,500 above which you will not be reimbursed unless a further arrangement has been put in place.Can you let me know if you will invoice your client who will then seek reimbursement from Grainger or whether you would prefer to issue an invoice direct. I will then make appropriate arrangements.I will progress the request for occupation of land to the rear.With Regards,StephenT. (020) 7182 2193M. (07985) 876655

Stephen,

In terms of scope, I propose to measure up, calculate areas, produce floor plans, and meet with my client to discuss how residential development might be realised, and discuss with you thereafter (by which time hopefully you will have some feedback from Haringey).  I will also ask my client to confirm an area of search and get a Focus search done of freeholds for sale.  I confirm that as an initial exercise, a cap of £2,500 should be fine, but I will let you know if things don’t go according to plan.

In terms of hourly rates, I could get a qualified surveyor to measure up.   The rate would be £150 per hour.  That said, I live beyond Seven Sisters so pass the tube station daily.  As such, it would seem sensible for me to undertake this work and in any event, I find measuring up gives me a better feel for the property and is therefore worthwhile.  I will use a surveyor to draw up the plans and calculate the areas.

I will contact Martin T on the land issue.

Jane,I note your instructions and proposed hourly rate for your involvement in this case. Before being in a position to confirm that my clients will reimburse professional costs I will need you to provide a brief scope of work and a cap which you will not exceed without further written approval from CBRE or Grainger. To save time can I suggest that if for example measuring up the property and preparing floor plans is within your scope that you propose hourly rates more commensurate with the task to be undertaken.With regard to the land to the rear of the property, Grainger is willing to work with you if required but I recommend that in the first instance you contact TfL. Martin Teodorczyk is our point of contact. Let me know how you get on. Presumably you acknowledge that this workstream will not be recoverable from Grainger?I look forward to hearing from you.Regards,StephenT. (020) 7182 2193M. (07985) 876655

Stephen,

It was a helpful meeting this morning.

I confirm that I have been instructed to act on behalf of Mr Gill and his son.   I confirm that my hourly rate is £225 plus VAT.

I propose to measure up and produce some floor plans, and from there, to consider whether residential development is feasible, including the addition of a second floor.  I note that you are going to discuss this with Haringey in terms of the principle of development.

Please can you confirm that reasonable surveyor’s fees will be met by your client for undertaking this pre-acquisition work?

Also, Mr Gill has noted that it would be helpful if the land to the rear of his unit could be leased to him until such time as it is required for the scheme.   I understand that the land is owned by TfL, and is to the rear of

 the derelict property.  It is currently vacant land.   I have shown the area hatched on the attached plan.   Mr Gill has said he has had no joy in obtaining an indication from TfL as to whether they would consider a lease of this area.  I had said I would contact TfL property for him, but thought in the first instance it might be quicker if you made an approach.   I would suggest a simple contracted out lease, which TfL can break when they require the land for the redevelopment.   If you would prefer me to make contact with TfL I am happy to do so. 

I look forward to your early response on the above, so that matters can be progressed.

Kind regards,

Jane

Jane,

I am representing Grainger in connection with their long running plans to develop over the tube station at Seven Sisters. You may know the planning is now approved and all challenges swept away leaving the developer free to progress. In this respect we have been contacting owners

Page 147: PROOF OF EVIDENCE IN RELATION TO COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATIONS ...bailey.persona-pi.com/Public-Inquiries/seven... · Stoke Newington High Street x x Unit occupied 230-240 Stoke Newington

and occupiers with a view to starting negotiations to see if deals can be done ahead of any formal resolution by LB Haringey (they already have an ‘in principle’ stance) to use its CPO powers to bring about redevelopment.

One of the owners, a Mr Gill, with a business called Airmoss t/a Tottenham Wines, has mentioned your name as being his adviser. Since telling us this we have tried to meet him but he has become more difficult to contact and we are now under increasing pressure from our client to make progress – good or not so good…

Can you let me know if you do have instructions and if so whether you are prepared to meet me as a means of getting the ball rolling.

I did mention this to Tim last week, he said you lived close to Seven sisters and might have a number of other potential clients in the offing. If this is the case could you let me know who you currently represent.

Many thanks.

SS Gill Esq. Airmoss Limited 1A-1B West Green Road South Tottenham London N15 5BX

CONFIDENTIAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE

13th November 2007

Dear Mr Gill,

1A / 1B WEST GREEN ROAD, LONDON N15

Since writing to you on 17th October 2007, I have become aware that on 25th June 2007, the freehold of 1A/1B West Green Road was transferred to Airmoss Limited, a company of which you are a Director.

As you know London Borough of Haringey are promoting the comprehensive redevelopment of the Wards Corner site and have selected Grainger plc as developer. Grainger have been working closely with Haringey and will be submitting a planning application very shortly.

You need not worry about having to move in the immediate future as your part of the site will not be needed before some time in 2009 at the earliest and both Grainger and Haringey are keen to ensure that your business is not needlessly disrupted in the interim.

Grainger are prepared to work with you to endeavour to find a solution to help you relocate and accordingly are prepared to offer similar terms to Airmoss Limited as previously offered to you when the building was privately owned rather than owned by the company. Despite the market for secondary retail property investments softening over the past few months, Grainger are prepared to increase the purchase price to £295,000, which I understand to be the sum that Airmoss Limited paid for the property in June.

Purchaser: Grainger Seven Sisters Limited (“Grainger”) Citygate St. James Boulevard Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4JE

Company Number: 0611428

Correspondence address: c/o Grainger Plc 161 Brompton Road London SW3 1QP

Vendor: Airmoss Limited 1A – 1B West Green Road

London N15 5BX Company Number: 1620036 Premises: Freehold land and property situated at 1A – 1B West Green Road, London,

N15 registered with the Land Registry as title number NGL305784.

We understand that the property is owned freehold and is not subject to any lease.

Purchase price: £295,000 exclusive of VAT (if applicable) Loss payment: In addition the Purchaser is prepared to pay a sum of £29,500 which is

equivalent to the loss payment to which you would have been entitled if the property was being purchased subject to a Compulsory Purchase Order.

Costs: Grainger will also pay your reasonable legal and surveyors fees incurred in

this transaction and in purchasing or leasing an alternative property. Timing: Grainger are prepared to complete the purchase within 20 working days of

agreement of the heads of terms. Continued Trading: In order to assist with continuity of trade whilst seeking and moving into

alternative premises, Grainger would permit you to remain in occupation of the property under a new lease for a term expiring on 31st December 2009. A nominal rent of £1 per annum would be payable during this period although you would be responsible for any necessary maintenance and the payment of a small charge to cover insurance. Grainger would have the right to terminate the lease at any time after 30th June 2009 subject to providing not less than 3 months prior notice in writing. The lease would be contracted out of the security of tenure provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act.

b) Agreement of reasonable surveyor’s and legal feels. Grainger’s aim in putting this proposal to you is to put you in a position where you can continue to trade from the property until at mid 2009 but receive payment for your property up-front within four weeks of agreeing Heads of Terms. This should help you when seeking alternative premises and Grainger and Haringey are working with North London Business who may be able to help you with finding alternative premises. We may be able to amend the terms in other ways to suit you particular circumstances but we are only able to do this if we can enter into a meaningful dialogue. Grainger and Haringey are very mindful of the disruption that situations such as this cause to small businesses and there is a genuine desire to help so I hope that we can now arrange to meet to consider the way forward Finally, I have spoken with Des Camblin who I understand you are in the process of appointing as your adviser. If you have now confirmed his appointment, I would recommend that you forward a copy of this letter to him. With Kind Regards Yours sincerely N J WARE

Dear Mr Gill,

1A / 1B WEST GREEN ROAD, LONDON N15

I am writing to you on behalf of Grainger plc regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Wards Corner site. As you will be aware from the public consultation that took place in July, Grainger will shortly be submitting a planning application for the proposed scheme. You need not worry about having to move in the immediate future as Grainger will not require your part of the site before some time in 2009 and Grainger are keen to ensure that your business is not needlessly disrupted in the interim.

As advised in my letter of 6th September 2007, Grainger appreciate that it is difficult to run a business and plan for the future when your property forms part of a larger development site. I had hoped to be able to meet with you and discuss the various ways in which Grainger may be able to help but unfortunately you have not responded either to my letter or subsequent telephone message left with one of your colleagues.

As we have not been able to meet, I am now writing to you to set out a proposal which I hope may be attractive to you and which is designed to help you relocate.

I refer to our previous discussions and correspondence regarding the proposed comprehensive redevelopment of the block of property surrounded by West Green Road, High Road, Seven Sisters Road and Suffield Road.

Sukhpal Singh Gill Esq Tottenham Wine 1A – 1B West Green Road South Tottenham London N15 4BX

CONFIDENTIAL

10th August 2005 WITHOUT PREJUDICE SUBJECT TO CONTRACT

Dear Mr. Gill,

1B WEST GREEN ROAD, LONDON, N15 5BX

You will recall that we met on 21st January 2005 when I visited your shop to talk to you about the proposed redevelopment of the block of property surrounded by West Green Road, High Road, Seven Sisters Road and Suffield Road. The comprehensive redevelopment of this area to provide improved facilities to local residents is being promoted by London Borough of Haringey who have selected Northumberland and Durham Property Trust Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Grainger Trust Plc, as their preferred development partner. As I advised you in January, Union Land & Property are advising Grainger Trust on the acquisition of the various properties which comprise the site.

I am now writing to you on behalf of Northumberland and Durham Property Trust Limited to submit a proposal to purchase the freehold of your property 1B West Green Road on the following terms:

Purchaser: Northumberland and Durham Property Trust Limited Citygate St. James Boulevard Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4JE

Company Number: 182763

Correspondence address: c/o Grainger Trust Plc 161 Brompton Road London SW3 1QP

Vendor: Sukhpal Singh Gill and Sukhminder Singh Mann c/o Tottenham Wine 1A – 1B West Green Road London N15 5BX

Premises: Freehold land and property situated at 1A – 1B West Green Road, London, N15 registered with the Land Registry as title number NGL305784.

We understand that the property is owned freehold and is not subject to any lease.

Purchase price: £240,000 exclusive of VAT (if applicable)

Loss payment: In addition the Purchaser is prepared to pay a sum of £24,000 which is equivalent to the loss payment to which the Vendor would have been entitled if the property was being purchased subject to a Compulsory Purchase Order.

Costs: In addition the Purchaser will pay the reasonable legal and surveyors fees incurred in this transaction and in purchasing an alternative property if the Vendor decides to reinvest in a property of similar value.

Timing: The Purchaser is prepared to complete the purchase within 15 days of agreement of the heads of terms.

Vacant possession: In order to assist with continuity of trade whilst seeking and moving into alternative premises, the Purchaser is prepared to enable the Vendor to remain in occupation of the property under a new lease for a term expiring in September 2006. No rent will be payable during this period although you would be responsible for the payment of a small service charge to cover the insurance and any necessary maintenance. The lease would be contracted out of the security of tenure provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act.
