Significant events
- “Land previously classified as investment property and carried at its professionally assessed fair value received detailed planning permission for the construction of 38 residential dwellings. The directors determined that the Group would no longer hold the land as an investment property but would seek to realise its value through the development ot sale in the course of business. As a result of this change in intended use the land no longer met the definition of investment property and was reclassified as inventories (stock and work in progress).”
