Members' report
Period ended 31 October 2024

The members present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of New Tyne West Development Company LLP ('the LLP') for the period ended 31 October 2024
 

Principal activity
 
 
The principal activity of the LLP is to facilitate the regeneration and redevelopment of the Scotswood area of Newcastle upon Tyne in accordance with the objectives of the LLP and the Masterplan ("The Scheme"). The LLP has signed a principal development agreement with the Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The project has the benefit of an outline planning permission for the whole scheme and detailed planning permission for the first two phases of the Masterplan.
 
 
Designated members
 
 
The Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne and BK Scotswood LLP were designated members of the LLP throughout the period. 
 

 
Members' capital and interests
 
 
Each member's subscription to the capital of the LLP determines their share of the profit and is repayable following retirement from the LLP.
 
 
Details of changes in members' capital in the period ended 31 October 2024 are set out in the reconciliation of members' interests.
 
 
Members are remunerated from the profits of the LLP and are required to make their own provision for pensions and other benefits. Profits are allocated and divided between members after finalisation of the financial statements. Members draw a proportion of their profit shares monthly during the year in which it is made, with the balance of profits being distributed after the year end, subject to the cash requirements of the business.
 

Strategic report
 
 
During the financial year the LLP has made significant progress with the following matters of note:
 
(1) Works to Phase 2 of the masterplan have now been fully completed, resulting in the delivery of 255 new homes.
 
(2) Work has commenced on Phases 3, 5 and 5a of the development. Phase 3 will deliver 381 new homes, Phase 5 will deliver 40 homes, and Phase 5a will deliver 49 homes. Phase 5 has been sold in its entirety to PlaceFirst, reflecting the continuing demand for high-quality, well-designed housing within the area.
 
(3) The sales performance during the financial year has been strong, although it did not entirely meet budget expectations. The LLP achieved an average sales price per unit of £213,626, compared with a budgeted figure of £197,248. The number of units legally completed was 65, against a budgeted target of 96.
 
(4) Purchaser statistics continue to align with the development’s key objectives of attracting economically active families back to the area, with around 75% being aged 40 and under, and circa  80% first-time buyers.
 
(5) The LLP remains committed to education, enterprise and training opportunities. Apprentices continue to be employed on site, and targets for vocational qualifications, work experience placements and local employment have been achieved. During 2024, charitable and community-focused initiatives continued to be delivered in partnership with community-based organisations and educational establishments. The programme of communications and consultations has further integrated the new and existing communities, and this commitment will continue into 2025.

Period ended 31 October 2024
 
 
 
(6) The directors have evaluated the risks associated with the current economic climate and ongoing global uncertainties. Steps to mitigate risks include revising build and sales targets, ensuring health and safety compliance, and maintaining close communication with subcontractors and suppliers to safeguard key supply chains. Alignment with government guidelines for safe working practices remains a priority.
 
(7) Despite challenges in meeting certain sales and completion targets, the LLP has demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Strategic initiatives focused on community development, stakeholder engagement, and risk management are positioning the LLP for continued success. Looking forward, the focus will remain on progressing current and future phases, enhancing community facilities, and fostering economic growth in the region.

New Tyne West Development Company LLP
 
 
Members' responsibilities statement
Period ended 31 October 2024

The members are responsible for preparing thefinancial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008), requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law, as applied to LLPs, the members must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:

select suitable accounting policies  and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;


prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the entity will continue in business.

The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of the Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the LLP and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report to the members of New Tyne West Development Company LLP

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of New Tyne West Development Company LLP (the 'limited liability partnership') for the year ended 31 October 2024, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the reconciliation of members' interests and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ('United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice').


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the limited liability partnership's affairs as at 31 October 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, as applied to limited liability partnerships.


Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the LLP in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.


Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Membe's Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The members are responsible for the other information contained within the annual reportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent auditor's report to the members of New Tyne West Development Company LLP (continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006, as applied to limited liability partnerships, requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of members

As explained more fully in the members' responsibilities statement on page 3, the members are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the members determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the members are responsible for assessing the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members either intend to liquidate the LLP or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We obtained a general understanding of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)'s legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations, the entity's policies and procedures regarding compliance, and how they identify, evaluate and account for litigation claims. We also drew on our existing understanding of the LLP's industry and regulation.
In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of the financial statmetns, which are central to the LLP's ability to conduct its business, and where there is a risk that failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the LLP:
 
The Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 in respect of the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.
 
We performed the following specific procedures to gain evidence about compliance with the significant laws and regulations identified above:
 
We made enquiries of mamangement and reviewed correspondence with regulators 
 
We obtained written management representations that they disclosed to us all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations and accounted for and disclosed all known actual or potential litigation and claims in the financial statements and that the producers in place to ensure
5

 
 

 
Independent auditor's report to the members of New Tyne West Development Company LLP (continued)

compliance with relevant laws and regulations are considered to be adequate.
 
The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were with regard to the manipulation of the financial statements through manual journal entries and incorrect recognition of revenue. These areas were communicated to the other members of the engagement team not present at the discussion.  
 
The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included:
Testing a sample of journal entries, focusing particularly on unexpected postings to revenue.
Substantive work on material areas affecting profits.
 
A further description for our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the LLP's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, as applied to the limited liability partnerships.Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the LLP's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the LLP and the LLP's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
Period ended 31 October 2024

General information

New Tyne West Development Company LLP ('the LLP') is a limited liability partnership incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales. The registered office is given in the information page of these financial statements. The nature of the partnership's operations and principal activities are disclosed in the members' report. 

2.Accounting policies

Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland', the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships".

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention. 
The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the partnership, and are rounded to the nearest pound.
The amounts shown for the current year are for the year ending 31 October 2024, while the comparative balances are for the 10 month period ending 31 October 2023, therefore the comparatives are not entirely comparable. The reason for the change in year end is to align the financial reporting period with that of the members.

 
2.2

Going concern

The LLP meets its day to day working capital and debt service requirements through its cash resources and operating cash flows.
The members have prepared financial forecasts which, having regard for the current economic environment and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, indicate that the  LLP is expected to maintain sufficient financial headroom through its cash resources and operating cash flows to enable it to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months following the approval of these financial statements and have support from its members where necessary. Notwithstanding any further potential ongoing impact on the LLP's financial performance and position beyond that already anticipated by the forecasts, the LLP maintains net funds and working capital which the members consider are sufficient to fully mitigate the risks which remain due the current economic environment.
After making enquiries, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP has adequate financial and other resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
2.3

Revenue

Turnover
Turnover represents the total value of sales from new build properties and land sales, excluding
Value Added Tax, made during the period.
Turnover and profit on sales of properties and freehold interests are included in the accounts where
completion has taken place by the end of the financial period.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.4

Employee benefits

Short-term benefits
Short-term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
Defined contribution pension plan
The LLP operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. Contributions are recognised as an expense when they fall due. Amounts due but not yet paid are included within creditors on the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the LLP in independently administered funds.

  
2.5

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided at rates calculated to write-off the cost of those assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Long-term leasehold property -  5% straight-line
Office equipment   -  25% straight-line
Asset residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

 
2.6

Stocks

Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Management assess the costs held and, where required, will book a provision against the stock.
Land is recognised in stock when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the LLP.

  
2.7

Financial instruments

The LLP only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, cash and bank balances. All such instruments are due within one year, and are measured, initially and subsequently at the transaction price.  
At the end of each reporting period debt financial assets are assessed for impairment, and their carrying value reduced if necessary. Any impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.8

Members' participation rights

Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed, remuneration and profits).
Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with FRS 102.
Amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as equity if the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payments to members.  If the LLP does not have such an unconditional right, such amounts are classified as liabilities. 
Where profits are automatically divided as they arise, so the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment, the amounts arising that are due to members are in the nature of liabilities. They are therefore treated as an expense in the profit and loss account in the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the year end, they are shown as liabilities in the balance sheet.
Conversely, where profits are divided only after a decision by the LLP or its representative, so that the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment, such profits are classed as an appropriation of equity rather than an expense. They are therefore shown as a residual amount available for discretionary division among members in the profit and loss account and are equity appropriations in the balance sheet.
Other amounts applied to members, for example remuneration paid under an employment contract and interest on capital balances, are treated in the same way as all other divisions of profits, as described above, according to whether the LLP has, in each case, an unconditional right to refuse payment.
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the balance sheet within "Loans and other debts due to members". Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the balance sheet within "Members' other interests"

  
2.9
Taxation

Members are personally liable for taxation on their share of the LLP profits and consequently no reserve for taxation is made in these financial statements.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Work in progress
The company recognises costs incurred on developments as work in progress (“WIP”). WIP is released to the profit and loss account in line with revenue, using an estimated margin. The margin is determined by reference to the overall expected costs and revenues of each development, incorporating both historical and forecast information.
The determination of the margin requires judgement and is subject to estimation uncertainty, as it depends on forecasts of future build costs and sales proceeds. The margin applied is reviewed and updated on a regular basis to reflect the latest information available at the reporting date.

Registration of charge

On 26 October 2023, a charge was created and registered with the following details:
 
Charge Code: OC36 2676 0008
Persons Entitled: The Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne
Description of Charge: 
°The charge pertains to the property known as the land adjoining Armstrong Road and Whitehouse Road, Scotswood, Newcastle upon Tyne. This property is delineated in red on the associated plan and comprises land within the following title numbers registered at the Land Registry: TY476156, TY491145, TY491541, TY491732, and TY340414.
°The charge contains fixed charges on specific assets.
°It also includes a floating charge that covers all the property or undertaking of the LLP.
°The charge includes a negative pledge, which restricts the LLP from creating subsequent charges over the same assets without the consent of the charge holder.

Impact on Financial Position

The fixed charge grants the charge holder specific rights over the assets identified in the charge documentation. This may limit the LLP's ability to dispose of these assets without satisfying the charge obligations.
The floating charge creates a security interest over the general assets of the LLP. The assets subject to the floating charge may be disposed of in the normal course of business until a crystallisation event occurs (e.g., insolvency), at which point the charge becomes fixed on the assets held at that time.
The negative pledge prohibits the LLP from securing additional loans against the same assets, thereby protecting the charge holder’s priority over the specified assets.
