Development Appraisal
Understanding the prospects of securing planning permission for future development is key to delivering successful projects.
This is where expert planning advice is vital, not just to establish the principle of development, but also to understand the full potential of land assets and any barriers to development. We do this through our development appraisal process which provides valuable insights for those considering a land purchase or planning application.
Whether you’re dealing with an already developed upon brownfield site, or undeveloped land, we can assist by providing a full understanding of the issues and constraints which might positively or adversely affect such development potential.
Our team of planners have expert planning law knowledge and possess the commercial awareness to offer you concise and considered advice on the potential of a site.
Our development appraisals take the form written reports which can aid in securing development finance, in securing land deals, or in the sale of land assets.
We realise it’s not just about whether planning permission will be granted, but also the technical and financial viability of a site. That’s why we work with a wide variety of other consultants to fully understand the potential of a site, including surveyors, civil engineers, remediation specialists, traffic consultants, archaeological consultants, valuers, lawyers and others.
