We offer a full lifecycle service ensuring that thought is given in the early stages of securing land to how the whole project will be implemented, constructed and exited. We provide strategic and tailored advice on innovative new products and opportunities that have and continue to enhance our clients offering when bidding for land and securing planning permission for example identification and securing of new income streams such as from microgrid energy provision and BNG, monetisation of digital and data, and creation of stewardship models that address both CMA and local authority concerns yet secure income opportunities for developers/landowners.
