Land Development Consultancy Strategic, planning-led advice across the development lifecycle

We support landowners across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and beyond in promoting, planning, and delivering development land opportunities.

We advise on complex projects, helping clients navigate evolving planning policy, multiple land interests and delivery challenges.

Through robust financial analysis and strategic planning advice, we focus on unlocking clear development strategies that are both commercially sound and deliverable.

Our advice is policy-led and tailored to each client’s objectives, from early-stage land assembly through to delivery and long-term estate planning.

How we can help

Provide advice on residential-led and mixed-use schemes to ensure proposals are policy-compliant, market-responsive and deliverable.
Promote land through the planning system using long-term strategies in line with planning policy, infrastructure delivery and market timing.
Provide robust financial appraisals to test development options, inform planning strategies and support negotiations.
Manage complex land ownership arrangements, including collaboration, equalisation and promotion agreements.
