Strategic land is a specialised area and, if well managed, delivers excellent financial reward to landowners but comes with high risk if planning is not granted. We work with landowners who hold land that they are considering putting forward for planning. We advise them on the many options that are available to them on large parcels of land. When promoting strategic land there are a number of contract types that may be applied. The contract type that is entered into largely depends on the landowners situation in relation to tax, land availability, timeframes for vacation of current tenants and trustees appointments. Once a strategy has been agreed with the landowner we project manage the selection of the land promoter or developer, assemble the planning team and all of the relevant consultants required to give the site the very best chance of securing an allocation or planning permission. A successful scheme would deliver a significant uplift in value and our bespoke approach to the land sale will ensure an expedient and value adding outcome.
