"REDEFINE INTERNATIONAL P.L.C.

REDEFINE INTERNATIONAL SECURES PLANNING CONSENT FOR HARROW RESIDENTIAL          
DEVELOPMENT                                                                     
Redefine International, the diversified income focused property company,        
announces that it has achieved full planning consent for a new residential      
led, mixed use, development scheme on the currently vacant Lyon House and       
Equitable House sites in the heart of Harrow town centre. Lyon House was a      
former government-let property and was occupied by HMRC until June 2010.        
Planning permission was granted last night, subject to Greater London           
Authority (GLA) approval, at Harrow Borough Council`s planning committee        
meeting.                                                                        
The development, between St John`s and Lyon Roads, will provide a total of      
287residential units, of which 49 will be affordable. The scheme will offer     
a range of accommodation including maisonettes and apartments across seven      
separate blocks of varying heights. The Company has already concluded a         
development agreement with Metropolitan Housing Trust for the affordable        
element of the scheme, which is conditional on receipt of full planning         
consent.                                                                        
In addition to the housing provision, the scheme will offer approximately       
33,000sqft of modern, flexible commercial space, as well as significant         
publically accessible open green space close to the town centre.  It also       
creates an opportunity to provide a new public realm defining a new             
destination for social and leisure activities.                                  
Redefine International is already a significant investor in Harrow through      
its ownership of the St George`s Shopping Centre.
