The principal activity of the Group is that of a regional property developer focused upon Kent, Surrey, Sussex and the M25 ring south of London together with investment in residential property.
Based on the above considerations, the Directors’ consider there to be one reportable geographical segment which is in the UK The internal and external reporting is on a consolidated basis with transactions between Group companies eliminated on consolidation. Therefore, the financial information of the single segment is the same as that set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of financial position and cashflows. Therefore, no segmental reporting is required.
