‘Masterplan for Crewe Town Centre’

18 April 2007

Masterplan for Crewe Town Centre

  

Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council have appointed Manchester based Urbed in conjunction with

  

TPM Landscape and Fifield Glyn, Chartered Surveyors, to produce a Masterplan for Crewe Town

  

Centre.

 

Their work, which is to be completed by October, will include evaluating the present

  

strengths and weaknesses of Crewe in relation to competing centres such as Chester and Hanley,

  

identifying development and investment opportunities and providing strategic advice for the

  

development of the town centre up to 2020. 

 

The Masterplan will cover the prime retail centre and up to the station.  The Urbed led consortium

 

will be consulting with local stakeholders as their plans evolve during the study period. They would

 

also welcome input and suggestions which should be emailed to andy@urbed.com or john.fifield@fifieldglyn.com.

  

‘No justification for rates on voids’

16 April 2007

2007 Budget – Empty Property Rates,

(published in the Estates Gazette dated 14th April 200 written by Mr John Fifield, Chairman of Fifield Glyn)

  

     I am very concerned about Empty Property Rates.  The present position (up to 1 April 2008) is

that shops and offices have 3 months rates free after each occupation when unoccupied and are

then charged 50% of the rates. Industrial and warehouse property is completely rates free if it is

empty.

   

    The new position will be that shops and offices will have 3 months rates free when unoccupied

then charged 100% rates. Industrial and warehouse property gets 6 months rates free then 100%

rates.

  

    This is a vast increase in overhead and is probably the finest example of a stealth tax you will

find. Historically, empty properties were not charged rates but in the early 70’s Harry Hyam said

that he was deliberately keeping Centre Point in Central London empty until he found a single blue

chip tenant to take the entire building and each year it remained vacant he put the rent up.  As far

as I am aware that is the only commercial building that has ever been kept empty on that basis

and it was extremely sad that a Conservative Government on a knee jerk reaction brought in

Empty Rates as a result.

  

    There was no real justification for it then and there is no certainly no justification for what is now

proposed. It will add serious costs to businesses be they property investors or occupiers trying to

dispose of a building as they move elsewhere.  It will be a severe deterrent to moving and it will

also be a deterrent to investors building speculatively, particularly in the poorer areas where commercial

property takes longer to let or sell.  I suspect that the impact will reduce the investment value of commercial

property with the knock-on effects to Pension Funds, Stockmarket, etc and Banks who may well reduce their lending. 

Most company borrowings are secured against their property.

 

    Gordon Brown has said his new scheme will raise £900 million – I think the total cost to business could be many

times that enormous sum.
