Overview

Page 3: A SIGNIFICANT CENTRAL LONDON DEVELOPMENT PROMOTION …

Camden Town is a vibrant part of London and is globally renowned for its markets, independent fashion, music and entertainment venues. It is home to a range of businesses, small and large, notably in the media, cultural and creative sectors attracted by its unique atmosphere.

Camden is considered to be one of the major creative media and advertising hubs within London. It has a strong business reputation and is a magnet to software consultancies, advertising firms and publishing houses. It is also considered a key linchpin in the Soho – Clerkenwell media triangle.

Approximately 30,000 full time students live in the Borough of Camden, attracted by the large number of colleges and universities within close proximity. A high proportion of Camden’s students are from overseas and are drawn to the area because of its Central London location and the calibre of higher education insitutions within the vicinity.

Unlike shopping areas such as Oxford Street and Regent Street which are characterised by huge international retailers with prominent flagship stores, Camden provides an alternative and unique experience for the shopper focusing on an independent bespoke retailing culture.

Camden Market is located to the East and runs under the railway track underneath the South Eastern corner of the site. There is a pedestrian access route to Camden Market from the car park via a staricase.

The site is split into three sections:1. The main Morrisons site, accessed from Chalk Farm Road via Juniper Crescent2 The Morrisons Petrol Filling Station site which is located on an island site, accessed from Chalk Farm Road (separate to the main site)3. The leasehold element which forms the South Eastern tip of the main Morrisons site and only covers the car park surface

The existing Morrisons supermarket extends to approximately 77,500 sq ft. (GIA) and 42,000 sq ft. (NIA) with large areas of hard standing customer car parking to the East. The retail unit is serviced via a small access road that runs along the very Western edge of the site, alongside the railway line. There is a bus stop to the Northern edge of the site and there are various access points and rights of way across the site – please access the data room in order to review the title information pack for further details.

PLANNING SYNOPSIS

Plan not to scale and for indicative purposes only. Please note that the plan outlines the historic Morrisons store, pre-exstension

Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners (NLP) has undertaken a planning appraisal of the main supermarket site and the petrol filling station. The petrol filling station site (Use Class Sui Generis) is located within Regents Canal Conservation Area and is adjacent to Camden Market which includes a number of Listed Buildings. The main supermarket site has been the established use on the site for approximately 20 years. The planning appraisal highlights that the sites benefit from a high accessibility level (PTAL 6a) and are within the boundary of Camden Town, which is identified as a Major Centre. This therefore means the sites are considered as suitable locations for high density, residential-led mixed use development. The London Plan (FALP) density matrix outlines that the current supermarket site could potentially deliver between 392 – 1,134 units and the petrol filling station site could potentially deliver circa. 57 units – 166 units. NLP outline that the general height of the development could be expected to be around 4-7 stories across the supermarket site, with scope for some taller elements, where this would not affect the protected view, heritage assets and local amenity. LB Camden consider the concept of ‘context’ to be central to any tall building prospects and therefore regard should be given to the existing context and any development proposals should ensure they complement the scale and massing of the surrounding buildings. Please access the data room to review the full Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners Planning Appraisal.

PLANNING PROMOTEThe Brief:

Wm Morrisons would like to work with a Planning Promote specialist in order to provide an appropriate planning strategy for their significant land holding in Camden. The Promoter will obtain a satisfactory planning permission for the site in order to maximise the site value and re-provide a new Wm Morrisons supermarket.

The new supermarket should extend to circa. 35,000 sq ft. NIA (circa. 60,000 sq ft GIA) of retail space and service facilities as well as approximately 300 customer car parking spaces. The Morrisons preference from the outset is for the frontage of the store to be as visible as possible with continuity of trade being key. A petrol filling station should be included within any new scheme.

Promoter submissions should include:

• Vision for the site

• Schematic design concept

• High level view on potential accommodation and uses

• Planning strategy comments and programme

• Team profile and experience

• Experience of working within LB Camden

• Comments on the draft Promotion Agreement

Financial proposal including:

• Planning permission budget cost estimate

• Promotion reward structure

• Potential site price today

• Potential site price with the benefit of planning permission

CAMDEN DEMOGRAPHICS

Camden Town has a total resident population of around 51,600 people, of which 35,600 are working age. In comparison to the London average, the area has a lower working age demographic with a high proportion of 25-44 year olds.

Nearly half of the residents of Camden Town work within managerial or professional occupations, substantially higher than the London average of 34%. When combined with associate professional and technical occupations this figure rises to 70% of the resident population, compared with 50% for London. Individuals employed within these types of occupations typically have higher than average earnings and higher disposable incomes. This has a knock on effect for the type of property that they can both afford and desire; both for rent or for purchase.

Managers, directors and senior officials

Associate professional and technical occupations

Skilled trades occuaptions

Sales and customer service occupations

Elementary occupations

Professional occupations

Administrative an secretarial occupations

Caring, leisure and other service occupations

Process, plant and machine operatives

The majority of households in Camden Town are individuals or couples (married or cohabiting) with no dependent children. Combined these account for nearly two thirds of all households in the area, compared with the London average of 58%; reflecting the lower age profile of the area.

The area has a low proportion of couples (married and cohabiting) with children. They account for 15% of local households, compared with a London average of 20%. The low level of couples with children suggests that there is an outward migration once couples decide to start a family. Camden Town has a higher proportion of multi-person households than the London average, 10% compared with 7%. One would expect this group to consist of a mixture of young professional sharers and students, due to the area’s central location, proximity to a number of university locations and the excellent transport connections to major employment hubs across London.

The high proportion of residents employed

in managerial and professional

occupations has a knock effect on the

average annual income in the area.
