1. Executive Summary
Current development activity
• In October 2011 there are 2 active developments in the local area of 69 and 22 units that are currently under construction.
• Across the wider area there are 6 active developments containing a total of 130 units of which 39 are still under construction.
• 28% are detached houses, 13% are semis, 20% are terraced and 34% flats.
Pricing of new build property
• The average selling price at October 2011 is £44,8611 for detached houses, £303,464 for semis, £202,409 for terraced houses and £140,063 for flats.
• Over the last 12 months to October 2011 the average price for detached houses has risen by 10.4% compared to a fall of 5.5% for the overall market.
• Average prices per square foot are £214psf for 1 bed flats, £30psf for 2 bed flats, £246psf for 2 bed houses, £251psf for 3 bed houses and £317psf for 4
bed houses.
Town planning constraints
• South Oxfordshire District Council’s Core Strategy makes provision for additional houses in Henley on suitable infill and redevelopment sites.
• Local Plan 2011 policy H4 provides for new houses in Henley, subject to a number of criteria being satisfied.
Site development potential
• The Shepherds Road site has a potential for 11 units totalling 14,790 sqft/ 1375 sqm in a mix of 3 and 4 bed detached houses with double garages.
• Using local pricing data, this equates to a total sale value of £5,989,000 at October 2011 prices.
Financial analysis and Return on Investment
• Assuming 3 years to complete the development and a 3.5% estimated increase in construction costs per annum, the total outlay on completion will be
£4,926,800.
• Assuming a finance requirement of £3,700,000 at 75% loan-to-value, the total initial investment outlay will be £1.226,800.
• Assuming a 2.0% estimated growth on current value per annum in the 3 years to complete the development, the current development value on completion
will be £6,355,600.
• Based on these figures, the Return on Capital will be 15.6% over the period of the development.

Site details
Location Henley-on-Thames
Gross site area 1,494 m2 / 16,065 sqft
Land cost £540,000
Existing buildings or structures on site yes
Listed buildings no
Conservation area yes
Fig 2. Site details for XX St Andrews Road, Henley-on-Thames
The proposed site on St Andrew’s Road is part of the curtilage of XX St Andrew’s Road. A high boundary wall on the frontage separates the plot from the
footway. Conservation Area Consent has been granted for the demolition of the other existing structures on the site (LPA ref P10/EXXXX/CA), whose
presence was a negative feature of the area. No significant trees are present on the site that would prejudice any development. The site is at the edge of St
Mark’s Road Conservation Area, with both adjoining properties being outside the Area.
The proposed site is located within Henley conservation area, a designated heritage asset. Henley conservation area was designated under the Planning
(Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 for its ‘special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to
preserve or enhance’. South Oxfordshire District Council approved the Henley Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan on 16th June 2005. This
included a conservation area boundary review which extended the boundaries of the St Mark’s Road Conservation Area to include properties in St Andrew’s
Road and Reading Road. St Andrew’s Road is located within Character Area 7, the proposal site is therefore included within a designated heritage asset,
(Henley Conservation Area) and is also identified as a non designated heritage asset of local interest.
Key features of the conservation area:
• Mainly red brick houses with blue brick or stone decoration under Welsh slate or tiled roofs
• Mainly semi-detached houses, set back slightly from the road behind brick walls or hedges
• More substantial houses in St Andrew’s Road - detached with larger gardens
• Roads laid out on grid pattern
• Common building line for most houses
• Reasonably generous, long, narrow gardens
• Houses of varied architectural designs and details
JLDA 7
ABC Development Ltd
• Significant local characteristic of frontage house with larger garden behind, set back behind modest front gardens
• Double-depth, 2 storey houses most common; however 2 storeys plus attics typical in detached houses in St Andrew’s Road
• Largely concealed rear gardens
• Positive contribution of trees and other more open gardens
• Fine examples of brick boundary walls
• Views of the surrounding wooded hills
Vegetation on the site prevents any significant townscape relationship between development on it and the more recently housing on adjacent land in Western
Avenue.
Services
Foul and Surface water

A 450mm diameter surface water sewer and a 225mm diameter foul sewer runs are present in St Andrew’s Road. Because new drains cannot be laid across
adjacent properties, pumped sewerage and soakaways will be required for the lower part of the site.
Electricity
Records provided by EDF indicate a low voltage cable which runs parallel to the site’s northern boundary.
Gas
National Grid have confirmed that there is a 180mm diameter gas main running along St Andrew’s Road.
British Telecom
Residential and commercial services are available from BT in the St Andrew’s Road area. There are no overhead lines crossing the site.

Planning Context
Planning Policy
The Oxfordshire Structure Plan makes provision for an additional 8,000 dwellings in the district between 1996 and 2011, divided between Didcot - about 5,000
dwellings (with a further 500 dwellings in the Vale of the White Horse District at Didcot) and the rest of South Oxfordshire - 3000 dwellings, but there will be no
significant housing growth in Henley. South Oxfordshire District Council’s Core Strategy proposes to make provision for additional houses in Henley (Policy
CSS1). Policy CSHEN1 accordingly includes the intention to “… allow housing on suitable infill and redevelopment sites.” South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011
policy H4 provides for new houses in Henley, subject to a number of criteria being satisfied.
Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS3) seeks the effective use of land for housing by re-using previously developed land. For the purposes of PPS3
the Secretary of State removed gardens from the definition of previously developed land, together with the national indicative minimum density, last year. As
a consequence, rear gardens are now treated as undeveloped plots with no presumption in favour of their development.
Guidance in Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3), and South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 policy H8 recommend a minimum density of 30 dwellings per
hectare.
The adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 policies G5, G6, CON7, D1, D2, D3, D4, D6, D,7 D8, H4, H8, as well as the South Oxfordshire Design Guide
(SODG) 2000 and the Henley Character Appraisal in respect of Henley Character Area 7 are relevant to this proposal. South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011
policy D1 requires that new developments contribute to the distinctive character and sense of place of each part of the district, and in the detailed design of
the building and the use of materials, reference should be made to local architectural themes or traditions. The scale of any new development should be in
keeping with adjoining development and with the size of the plot. Building forms should be kept as simple as possible and should reflect the general
relationship of buildings to the street in the local area. Dwellings in the immediate vicinity of the plot site are a mix of large semi-detached and detached
houses, and any proposal should be designed to reflect this mix.
Policy D2 requires that parking should be accommodated on the development plot, and policy D3 requires garden and outdoor sitting areas to be designed so
as to provide a reasonable degree of privacy. Policies D4 and D8 require that adequate privacy be provided to existing and new residents without undue
intrusion from neighbours or from the public, and that buildings should be orientated within their plots to maximise daylight, passive solar gain and sunlight to
garden areas, avoiding overshadowing of adjoining dwellings.
Policy G6 requires that development in the district is of a high quality and inclusive design, and has regard to the distinctive characteristics of the local area
and that the development is appropriate in terms of its type and its scale. Policy H4 regarding the design, height, scale and materials of a proposed
development should be in keeping with its surroundings, such that the character of the area is not adversely affected. The choice of materials, the scale and
JLDA 10
character of the proposed development should be chosen and designed to carefully respect the distinctive character of Another Road in order to fully comply
with these policies. Further guidance is contained in the South Oxfordshire Design Guide 2008.
Policy D7 requires access to and into buildings from the street to the proposed dwelling to ensure adequate access for those with impaired mobility, hearing or
sight.
The Council’s parking standards set out in South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 Appendix 5 require 1 parking for 1 bed dwellings, 2 spaces spaces for 2/3 bed
dwellings and 2+ extra spaces on merit for 4 bed+ dwellings.

JLDA 24
Commentary on Financial Analysis
• The land value at £2,525,000 equates to £452 psm which is higher than land values in the wider area at £360 psm.
• The Return on Investment is highly sensitive to any increase in construction costs and in particular to changes in the growth in value of the completed
development. For example if the construction costs increase by 5% per annum over the period of the development, the RoI reduces to 13%. If
property values fall 2% over that time, the RoI reduces to 1.2% (excluding any construction cost increases)
• If the purchase price for the land could be reduced to between £2,000,000 and £2,200,000 (£360 - £390 psm), any fall in property values of 2% would
produce a RoI of between 10 – 18%.
JLDA 25
Conclusions & Recommendations
A scheme consisting of a mix of 3 and 4 bed detached dwellings in the range of 1,000 to 1,600 square feet within a price range of £475,000 to £700,000
makes optimum viable use of the site within this built-up area, in accordance with 3RDC Adopted Local Plan policy G5 of the Local Development Framework.
Changes to PPS3 have resulted in the removal of the density target of 30dph, and dwelling capacities of sites are based on design case studies which
recognise the characteristics of the surrounding areas.
The layout of this proposal provides good sized plots, with parking arrangements for 2 spaces or double garage and 2 additional visitor spaces in compliance
with policy T2. Vehicular and pedestrian access into the site is a level and would not affect the safety and convenience of users on Chorleywood Road. The
proposal makes provision of a hard surface to the front door of the dwelling, in compliance with policy Policy D7 which requires access to and into buildings
from the street to be adequate for those with impaired mobility, hearing or sight.
The viability assessment demonstrates that this preferred option would provide a viable Return on Capital, taking into account current economic conditions.
Recommendations
Any development proposal should be carefully designed to balance contribution to the street scene and neighbourliness, make use traditional materials and
design idioms, and seek to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. Scheme design should be appropriate for context,
and make a positive contribution to the appearance, character, quality and local distinctiveness of the historic environment.
The final design should take into account:
Significance of nearby assets and contribution of setting

General character and distinctiveness of local buildings, spaces, public realm and the landscape
Landmarks and other features that are key to a sense of place
The diversity of uniformity in style, construction, materials, detailing, decoration and period of existing buildings and spaces
The topography
Views into and from the site and surroundings
Green landscaping
The current and historic uses in the area and the urban grain
Influence of these factors on the scale, height, massing, alignment and materials
JLDA 26
Risk Assessment
UK house sales continue to fall, with the property market in a three-year slump, and sales well below levels recorded prior to the banking crisis in 2008. Sales
have been depressed by a combination of mortgage rationing by lenders, and rising unemployment.
A careful appraisal of the development cost must be made in order to avoid costs exceeding the funding identified for the project. The funding for the project
has been calculated having analysed the market and with reference to current building cost rates provided by the client and adding inflation allowances within
the project costs. This risk has been mitigated by adopting a cautious approach to the assumptions made in the ROI calculation. However, changes in the
market place may lead to a fall in sales prices and/or fluctuations in construction costs.
A contingency sum has been allowed for unseen costs. This almost always relates to unexpected ground conditions, and it is recommended that a soil
analysis be obtained prior to completion of the land purchase. This may identify possible contamination as well as areas of weak load bearing soils. If
contamination is found, a more detailed survey with recommendations and costs for the removal of the contamination should be obtained and entered into the
development cost calculation. Any areas of weak soil will require engineered foundation works, the costs of which should be reflected in the build cost rates.
Other areas of uncertainty/risk have not been evaluated in this study, such as an affordable housing requirement and any planning gain agreements that may
be required by the local council. You are advised to make appropriate enquires regarding these and any other matters that may affect the viability of the
development.
