We manage and coordinate the process of taking land through the planning system. That means setting a strategy suited to the site and the local policy position, appointing the right specialists, commissioning the technical work, engaging with the local authority before an application is made, and running the application itself through to a decision.
We are not a planning consultancy and we do not decide applications. Planning decisions rest with the local planning authority, and no company can promise a consent. What we can do is make sure a site arrives at the decision with the strongest realistic case: properly evidenced, properly designed, and with the objections anticipated rather than discovered. Most refusals are not surprises. They are questions that nobody answered in time.
We decide what to apply for, and when, based on the policy position rather than on hope.
Planning consultants, architects, highways engineers, ecologists and surveyors, brought in according to what the land actually needs.
Pre-application discussion and, where it helps, consultation with the parish and neighbours before the application is submitted.
You deal with us, not with six separate consultants and their invoices.
Tell us about your land: where it is, roughly how large, and anything you know about its history. Everything you share stays confidential, and there is no obligation.
We study the local planning policy, the planning history of your site and its neighbours, the access, services and constraints, and the demand from builders in the area. Then we visit the land in person.
We tell you what we found, including the problems. If your land has real potential, we explain how much and why. If it does not, we say so, and you will not have spent anything to find out.
Depending on the site and your plans, we may buy the land outright, or agree to promote it through planning on your behalf. Every agreement is reviewed by your own independent solicitor, and we contribute towards your legal costs.
We deal with whatever is holding the land back, whether that is access, drainage, title or planning, and prepare it properly for the developers who will build on it. When the work is done, the sale completes at the terms we agreed.
Values change when policy changes, and policy has changed a great deal in the last two years. If nobody has looked at your site since, nobody knows what it is worth today.
