1. Site Visit
We meet with the landowner to fully understand their expectations and requirements. We will then undertake a site visit to fully assess the land’s development potential.
2. Appraisal
Our in-house team of land and planning experts will undertake an appraisal of the land.
3. Agreement
If we believe your land has development potential, we will prepare a promotion strategy for your consideration. If you are happy with the proposed strategy, we will enter into a formal Promotion Agreement with you which will enable us to promote your land through the planning system, with the aim of obtaining planning permission. The Promotion Agreement will fully set out the likely timescales involved and the extent of the works we agree to undertake. We cover the costs to formalise the Promotion Agreement to the satisfaction of both parties.
4. Site Promotion
The Promotion Agreement will fully set out the agreed promotion strategy. Some sites may be required to be promoted through a Local Plan with a view to obtaining an allocation for development before a planning application is made. In other cases, it may be appropriate to submit a policy compliant planning application. We will also consider alternatives to obtain planning consent, such as the five-year housing land supply. Our promotion strategy is individually tailored to each site to ensure we achieve the best outcome.
5. Planning Application
We will prepare and submit a planning application, and if applicable, deal with any appeal process.
6. Sale of Land
Once planning permission has been obtained, the land is marketed to housebuilders and developers to secure the highest possible financial return for the landowner.
