Port Werburgh is an exclusive new residential development with views over Port Werburgh Marina and the River Medway in Kent. The development is particularly interesting as it demonstrates a unique collaboration between the park owners and the Omar Group.

Since the project’s sales launch in February 2016, to May 2016, ten of the planned 60 luxury two to four bedroom homes have already been reserved with an average cost of £250,000 (turnkey price). With central London just 33 miles away and a stunning marina location, the development is particularly attractive to its intended over 50s market and the number of plots reserved has already outstripped sales targets.

Working closely with the owners, Omar Park Development Services (OPDS) has advised on the site development phase, planning, site infrastructure, the overall park layout and the appointment of contractors. Through an exclusivity agreement, Omar Group will also supply all 60 homes, as well as marketing and helping to sell them.

Richard Sigsworth, Special Projects Director of OPDS describes the working project as a ‘win, win situation all round’ for both parties. “Due to time pressures from other business commitments, the owners called upon the expert advice and services of OPDS to advise on the planning and development of this all-new park home development,” he said.

Tax Gains For Holiday Park Owners

Park owners could be claiming significant tax rebates according to the experts at Omar Park Development Services (OPDS).

The new division of the Omar Group was set up to help new and existing park owners in all aspects of park development and operations. Now in partnership with RD Tax Solutions, park owners can also benefit from expertise in the minefield that is capital allowances, with the average claim being around £125,000.

Over recent months OPDS has worked with several park owners to identify unique tax advantages in the UK leisure market and with success across several areas. Areas such as planning, commercial buildings, land remediation, heating and lighting, land management and enhanced eco assets have all proven to meet the stringent criteria of the tax office and together have been labelled the Leisure Park Tax Allowance (LPTA).

Richard Sigsworth, special projects director for OPDS comments: “I came across RD Tax Solutions whilst researching eco solutions and grants for parks and realised that there was huge potential for parks to claim significant tax rebates.

“The core ethos of OPDS is to help parks so I am continually seeking new opportunities and cost saving initiatives to that aim. Through this unique partnership we are able to further strengthen the services we offer to parks.”
