Planning & Feasibility for Land You Want to Develop
Most landowners wonder: "Could this become beautiful homes?" Expert feasibility assessment turns wondering into certainty. We've successfully guided many landowners through planning permission and feasibility to create serviced building plots that families treasure.
What Makes Land Suitable for Housing Development?
Our comprehensive assessment evaluates multiple factors that determine feasibility. What looks like constraints to most people are simply challenges to solve with the right planning expertise. Here's what we assess when determining your land's potential for serviced building plots.
Creating Safe Access
Every home needs safe access. We design entrances that meet residential requirements while satisfying safety standards.
Connecting Essential Services
Every property requires water, electricity, and drainage. We design efficient connections that serve each plot beautifully without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Working With Local Policies
Every area has planning preferences. We know how to present your development in ways that councils appreciate—focusing on community benefit and quality design.
Respecting the Environment
Beautiful developments work with nature, not against it. We handle surveys and assessments to ensure your homes enhance rather than harm the local environment.
Honoring Local Character
Great developments respect their surroundings. Whether near historic buildings or in conservation areas, we design homes that feel like they belong.

Every development faces unique technical hurdles. From difficult terrain to complex drainage requirements, we solve the engineering challenges that turn obstacles into opportunities for beautiful homes.

Planning FAQs
How long does it take to get planning permission?
Our expedited route typically takes about a month to prepare, then 5 weeks at planning. This is much faster than standard development timelines because we use Permission in Principle and streamlined processes. We'll give you realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.
What does the planning process cost?
We fund all the upfront planning costs—surveys, design fees, application fees, the lot. You don't pay anything until plots start selling successfully. We believe in your land's potential enough to invest our own money.
What if the council says no?
Our success rate is high because we know how to present self-build developments to councils. If there are issues, we work with councils to find solutions. In the case of refusal, we nearly always appeal the decision at our own costs.
