The city is situated 285 miles south west of London, 28 miles east of Penzance, 11 miles north of Falmouth and 14 miles west of St Austell. Truro benefits from good road communications, being located 6 miles south of the, and adjacent to the A390, which provides the major carriageway through the south of Cornwall. Both the A390 and also provide direct access to Exeter and Junction 31 of the M5 motorway, situated approximately 87 miles to the east. Truro is served by a direct train service from London Paddington, with a journey time of approximately 4 hours 20 minutes. Newquay Airport is located 17.5 miles to the north providing flights to several UK and European destinations. PMA estimate that Truro s primary catchment area population is 416,000 people, ranking it 57 out of the 200 top PMA centres in the UK. Truro also has an estimated shopping population of 218,000 people, ranking it 53. There are 131,646 people living within a 20 minute drive time of the subject property, which CACI estimate will increase by 4.64% by Given the lack of retail offer and competition from the surrounding towns, Truro provides the predominant retail offer in south west Cornwall and as such draws upon a wide catchment area, including the nearby towns of St Austell, Camborne and Falmouth. Retail expenditure in Truro is significantly above average, demonstrating the relative affluence of the area: Truro Retail PMA Average Top 200 Centres Total in-store comparison retail expenditure 2012 ( m) Per capita retail warehouse expenditure Per capita in-store comparison expenditure ,270 2,287 Forecast growth in comparison retail expenditure (per annum % real) 1.6% 1.4%

5 OPEN CONSENTED PARK NEWQUAY ROAD PARK, TRURO TR1 1XD Newquay Road Retail Park is situated in a highly accessible position at the junction of the A38 Newquay Road and the A390 Tregolls Road, approximately 1 mile east of the city centre. Newquay Road effectively forms the edge of the Truro conurbation with the majority of the surrounding area being occupied by residential accommodation. PROPOSED WAITROSE DEVELOPMENT Directly opposite the subject property is a site where works have commenced for a mixed use development, which will be anchored by a Waitrose foodstore. The development will total 41,538 sq ft of retail floorspace to also include an associated Cornish food market. There will also be a 1,379 space park and ride bus service improving public transport and accessibility to the area and around 100 new residential dwellings. The scheme has planning consent and work has recently started on site with completion due in late Once developed, together with the subject property, this will form a major retail attraction for east Truro and increase the critical mass of the area. This we believe will help attract new tenants to the subject property and increase the existing tenant s trade. DESCRIPTION The subject property extends to a total of 49,296 sq ft and is anchored by Dunelm. It is arranged as 2 terraces with car parking to the front and side of each. The scheme was redeveloped in 2012 and provides modern attractive retail space, with glazed frontages and brick and metal profile clad elevations. Internally, the units are fitted out to the individual tenant s specification. Units A2, B1 and B2 all benefit from having extensive mezzanine floors, which are partially used for trading. There is an area extending to 4,840 sq ft voided off at the rear of the Harveys unit which is not rentalised. Behind this is a service corridor which is demised to Dunelm for their exclusive use, but not included within the GIA of the unit. Dream s GIA excludes a service corridor, which is within their demise for their exclusive use. The scheme benefits from 204 car parking spaces, equating to a ratio of 1:247 sq ft. Servicing is located to the northern elevation of the Dunelm unit and the side elevation of the Hobbycraft unit. Service and customer access and egress is via Newquay Road.

7 OPEN CONSENTED PARK NEWQUAY ROAD PARK, TRURO TR1 1XD POTENTIAL Given the size and extent of its catchment, Truro has a very limited supply of retail warehousing, particularly on the eastern side of the city, where Newquay Road Retail Park is the only out of town scheme. The park was fully refurbished in 2012 and pre-let to the existing tenants. However, with the improving occupational market, we believe there is the opportunity to further enhance the tenant line up, particularly with retailers who can be accommodated within the open A1 non-food planning consent. Dreams was sold to Sun Capital Partners in March 2013 in a pre-pack administration. Dreams remained in occupation of 171 stores including their store on the subject property, which we understand trades well. However, there have been approaches from several retailers for the unit and we believe there is the opportunity to re-let this to a softer retailer, subject to agreeing a surrender with Dreams. The void area to the rear of the Harveys unit offers the opportunity to extend the current unit by 4,840 sq ft. This extra space offers the potential to create one large unit extending to circa 15,140 sq ft or to subdivide into 2 units of circa 7,500 sq ft each. We believe the proposals for a mixed use development, anchored by a Waitrose foodstore, on the site directly opposite will also significantly enhance the location s attractiveness as a retail destination and help attract new occupiers to the pitch. In addition, the scheme is let off relatively low rents, providing the potential for good levels of rental growth in the future. TENANTS COVENANTS The scheme is anchored by the 5A1 covenant of Dunelm.
