Site and Option Analysis

Howbery Park

Delivering a master plan which creates a centre of excellence for water and environmental research and innovation.

Before you develop or buy a site, we’ll explore all its options. By fully identifying and analysing the planning and technical constraints you can understand what lies ahead.

Trees, service utilities, drainage strategy and road access must all be investigated, and each will have a site-specific development cost. Our knowledge of local planning policy and market trends completes the picture of what is feasible.

How much will each option cost to deliver? Which scheme looks the most profitable? How likely is planning permission? By becoming conversant of all the constraints, you can set a baseline for assessment.

This full evaluation will provide you with the comfort you need to begin investing further funds and resource into the project. But sometimes it might be best to walk away.
