Where do we find sites for new developments? This is a question we are often asked.
While there is not a simple answer, it is the case that many new land opportunities come from referrals by people who know and have confidence in our business. Our thorough knowledge of the planning process and detailed knowledge of the community in which we operate, enables us to identify opportunities that others cannot see.
Unlike many major developers, we are able to adopt a design-led approach to every opportunity that we consider. As a result we can identify value for the landowner that others cannot.
Our active development programme keeps us in touch with current ”planning policies” at a national and local level.
At The Glen in Caversham, for example, we obtained planning consent on a very sensitive site for a five-bedroom house by excavating part of the site and using ground levels to minimise the impact of the new house on its neighbouring properties. A development solution that others failed to see.
Although we are often in competition with other developers, our knowledge of the planning process, our successful track record, and our commitment to progressing quickly, make us ideal development partners.
Our hands on approach ensures that vendors have a single personal contact throughout the planning process.
