Our award-winning team offers unrivalled expertise in strategic land, guiding projects from local and neighbourhood plan promotions to successful examinations and site allocations.
It can range from urban extensions to stand alone new settlements. Planning permission is either achieved through ‘self-promotion’ by the landowner (where they fund the application process) or via an agreement with a third-party promotion partner. The Land & Development Team has the expertise to advise landowners throughout this process, from the inception stage of initial land identification through to the eventual sale to a developer.
We specialise in managing and implementing complex planning applications with
presicion. Our in-house planning specialists and integrated services support every stage of your project - from design and planning to implementation - to help secure site allocations.
With a strong track record of achieving allocations and permissions across a wide range of uses, we identify key issues early to shape robust, tailored planning strategies. Our national insight, combined with detailed local knowledge, ensures you’re equipped to navigate the increasingly complex planning landscape as local authorities respond to evolving policy demands.
Our Land & Development Team specialises in both the disposal and acquisition of residential led development land.
We provide bespoke strategic development management advice from initial site identification through to securing an on-site delivery partner.
We offer focused professional advice across viability, valuation and expert witness work—helping landowners, developers and investors make informed decisions on residential and mixed-use schemes.
The goal is to create vibrant, sustainable, economically resilient, and highly activated environments that enhance user experience, increase land value, and support long-term investment performance.
