Planning is the Key to Land Value.
You have the Land, We have the Know-How.
Planning Know-How.
Planning is becoming increasingly political and technical. We aim to assist land owners and other members of their advisory team by providing strategic and tactical expertise founded on knowledge and experience. We lead our partners through the complexities of the town planning system whilst delivering profitable, environment-enhancing and sustainable development projects.
#01 Experienced
We draw upon our wider development experience in areas including:
Pre-purchase planning audits and development strategies Planning applications and negotiations Community engagement Affordable housing consultancy - viability and tool kits Sustainability appraisals Renewing and improving existing planning permissions Negotiating and renegotiating S106 agreements and CIL.
#02 Informed.
The Localism Act and the NPPF will transform the way in which developers and landowners engage with communities. The government is keen to encourage engagement rather than tick-box consultation. Listening rather than just talking is now essential to secure planning permission.
This a specialist area and we work in close collaboration with expert external consultants who have been carefully chosen to help us provide a co-ordinated approach. If you want to understand localism and get practical advice on gaining planning consent, we can help.
Similarly, environmental and sustainability considerations significantly impact planning and design. Negotiating complex regulations can be time-consuming and very expensive. A thorough appreciation of these issues is therefore essential.
We work closely with industry experts to embrace the objectives of sustainability whilst conforming to relevant policies in the most straightforward and value enhancing way possible. The importance of community engagement, environmental protection and sustainability is well understood by the Matthew Mark and expertise in these areas is directly available to our partners.
#03 Adaptable.
We recognise that every land partner will have unique needs and every property is different. Applying high-level expertise rooted in the company's land and development experience enables projects to run smoothly through the planning system. Land partners interests are looked after throughout the planning process with an experienced but open mind, whilst always making contributions to enhance their interests.
Our planning implementation is tailor made for each project, reflecting individual needs and priorities in the development of land and property assets.
