Land and Property acquisition
We have a dedicated land team who look after land acquisition and management thereafter in a transparent and authentic approach. Our land team are focussed on acquiring development sites and efficiently resolving any difficult challenges that are faced along the way. Our negotiations when acquiring land are always honest, reasonable and transparent. As a boutique developer we can move quickly to resolve any issues and evaluate complex matters with haste.
Planning and design
We undertake a rigorous process of site assessment, scheme development, pre-application, scheme refinement and then a full planning application for each of our sites. The initial steps often give us confidence to purchase sites without planning, in the knowledge that given the local planning context and our expertise, we will be able to achieve a positive and successful planning outcome.
