Branson on Kent Surrey and Sussex March 2018 issue 55

Like a long playing record with the needle stuck in a groove, the arguments about residential conversion of commercial buildings and the total use of brownfield sites for housing thunders on.

Many people will be bored by our continued banging on about this, but it is clear from the property business that the current situation is depriving many areas of much needed commercial space at a time when the economy in the south east is proving to be so resilient.

The comments from SHW in Worthing, which apply across the region, ring so true in asking for an adult policy from the national and local authorities.

Some initiatives are being taken, such as the John Baker Group plans for new office space close to London based on the demographics of young professional workers moving out of London.

It is encouraging that the economy in the south east is performing so well but that fire will need feeding with new modern space. Industrial properties built in the 1970s and 80s no longer fit the needs of the logistics industry with its emphasis on speedy delivery for the onIine retailers. Nor will people used to new office space in central London put up with a few rooms above a fast food restaurant in a south east high street.
