Successful funding bid to transform Knighton Town Centre

Drogheda and District Chamber took part in the public consultation event at the Louth County Council civic offices in Fair Street regarding a potential Heritage Regeneration project within the West Street area of Drogheda Town Centre. The project is funded under Thrive, which aims to re-imagine town centres and to transform publicly owned vacant or derelict heritage buildings within those town centres through renovation, renewal, and adaptive reuse. “There is a possible €7m investment opportunity here for a project in Drogheda and it would be great to get that funding. There is so much the town needs and this would be a great start,” chamber CEO, Hubert Murphy, stated.

🏡 Highland Housing Challenge 🏘 Earlier this week Highland Council convened the inaugural Highland Housing Challenge Summit in Aviemore to address the extremely pressing and increasing issue of housing. While I was unable to attend I was very lucky to receive a great summary from Savills planner Philip Graham. On Balnagown Estates as well as having land from the Cromarty Firth, through the Kyle of Sutherland to Rosehall we also have a small number of properties we let out on long term leases. In the past 2 years particularly we have seen the demand, when a property comes available, sky rocket. This high demand appears to be partially driven by landlords coming out of the market due to the increased legislative burden, but also, as alluded to at the summit, the pressing need for accommodation to support those working on the reported £110 billion of infrastructure work planned for the Highlands over the next 10 years. We are already starting to see that impact now from the Inverness & Cromarty Firth Green Freeport, the SSEN Transmission Beauly to Spittal Transmission upgrade and the burgeoning renewables sector. With the Highland Councils call for ideas now live it is important that land owners both small and large engage so that land desperately needed for housing can be identified for a forth coming Highland-wide Local Development Plan. Change is happening so now is a real opportunity to be involved otherwise it could be another generation before this kind of investment and development is seen again. #Savills #Planning #Highlands #Housing #CromartyFreePort #SSEN #HighlandCouncil

Last week we were delighted to celebrate the practical completion of the first two buildings planned for Miller’s Quay, the cornerstone development at Wirral Waters, the UK’s largest urban regeneration project. As a result, Miller’s Quay will soon welcome its first rental tenants and in total the development will consist of 500 homes. The remaining four buildings of the development are due to be completed by January 2025.   James Agar, Head of Long Income at PIC, said: “Miller’s Quay exemplifies the ideal partnership of a long-term investor, a highly experienced developer, and a forward-thinking local authority working together to generate a development of considerable social value.   “As an example, over the course of construction the average monthly spend on local labour has exceeded £1 million per month with 41% of the costs of construction placed with businesses located within a 50-mile radius of Wirral Waters. The benefits of cutting the distance goods and contractors need to travel has helped to reducing energy consumption, particularly of fossil fuels.   “This Build-to Rent development has been funded through a long-term, regeneration lease structure, which operates like a fully amortising loan, providing funding for Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (WMBC), which would not have been available from traditional sources. WMBC will now lease the buildings for 50 years, with annual rent increases linked to inflation, after which ownership of the building will pass to WMBC.”   Link to press release: https://lnkd.in/dYiQT-gm Peel Waters, GRAHAM Group, Homes England, Wirral Council, Wirral Metropolitan College - Wirral Met College, Hayley Rees, Tanmay D., Chris Shaw MRICS, Jess Adams, Abigail Rowton, Macie Thorne #WirralWaters #regeneration #development #Wirral #construction #purpose #investment
