| Francis, I think you're painting with a very broad brush. You can't underestimate the micro demographic of each location let alone the amenities each can/cannot provide. Add to that, each property has unique assets or lack thereof. The Duchess/Queen will have another revenue stream with rooms above. The Carpenter's Arms is, ostensibly, an ego project. It will also have the draw of celebrity ownership. Both the above are not constrained by LTN theatrics. Hence, those Sunday roast get togethers are enabled as opposed to encumbered. Not to mention other festivities. They are better connected to all modes of transport which will maximize opportunity. Increasingly I think councils are remiss by not maximizing their own revenue in the form of proper taxes leaving them desperate to collect by any means possible. Empty premises generate how much??? Should these empty spaces be left for years and years? How is it the ground floor unit at the entrance to St Peters Square remains unoccupied? After what, a decade now? |
