Location
Portsmouth is located approximately 19 miles south east of Southampton and 70 miles south west of London, with excellent regional connectivity via the M27/A27 corridor, linking directly to the M3 and A3(M) and providing efficient access to London and the wider motorway network.
Norman House itself occupies a highly accessible commercial position with rapid access to the M275, the principal route into Portsmouth. The property is situated close to the port and adjacent local amenities, including convenience retail provision at London Road, together with supermarkets and supporting services within walking distance. The city centre is also located a short distance away, providing extensive retail, leisure and banking facilities. Public transport links and established cycle routes further enhance staff accessibility.

Planning
A new Use Classes Order (UCO) came into effect on 1st September 2020. Under the new UCO a new Use Class E was introduced to cover commercial, business and service uses. Use Class E encompasses A1, A2, A3, B1 and some D1 and D2 uses under the former UCO. We therefore understand that the premises benefit from Class E 'Commercial Business and Service' use within the Use Classes Order 2020.
