• How much is my plot worth?

  The value of your plot can be maximized by obtaining planning permission to develop on the land, as this typically yields the best returns. To determine the current worth of your plot, it is advisable to get an up-to-date land valuation that considers any recently-achieved planning consent. Additionally, an appraisal on the value of the new build units can help you understand the gross development value. This information will guide you in deciding whether to build the consented scheme yourself or sell the site. If you choose to sell, our experts will be able to advise you on the steps to take to maximise the value of your sale.

• We have been refused planning permission. What can we do next?

  If you have been refused planning permission, there are several options available to you. Firstly, you could submit a planning appeal. Alternatively, you can take a more measured approach by considering the reasons for the refusal. Often, the planning decision notice will provide guidance on how to address the most pressing issues. Once these issues have been dealt with, a subsequent application may not be as harshly contested. It's important to note that a high proportion of planning applications are refused the first time, so don't give up. You can also reappraise the scheme and potentially find a buyer who is willing to take on the challenge of obtaining planning consent themselves. Engaging in a confidential, no-obligation discussion with experts can help you explore the various options open to you.
