The Planning process can be stressful and developing a positive relationship with the local authority and understanding how things work alleviates some of the stress.
If necessary, we can connect you with local architects and planning consultants to help keep your plans on the right track and in line with the Local Plan.
We can provide development consultancy advice, including pricing and market research, in readiness for when you obtain planning.
If you are unsure whether you want to develop the site yourself or want to sell the land on, we can explain the pros and cons of both options.
Many house builders will work in partnership with landowners to ensure the planning application represents a development that will appeal to a house builder and ultimately a home buyer.
We work with house builders, planning consultants, architects and developers and it all begins with a conversation.
Contact us today on 01243 558735 for a confidential, no obligation discussion to explore your options.
Many planning applications are refused first time, so please don’t give up.
Having a planning application refused can seem like the end of your journey, but it’s often just the start. We can help you take things in a new direction.
We can help you reassess your proposals and help you take things in a new direction.
You may wish to find a buyer who will take on the challenge of getting the planning consent or work with a potential buyer on the basis that, once the planning application is granted, they’ll proceed with the purchase.
You could submit a planning appeal or take a more measured approach and consider the reasons for the refusal. Most planning decision refusal notices will explain the most pressing issues to be overcome and, once these have been dealt with, a subsequent application may not be too harshly contested.
Sims Williams can provide the answers and support you need, and all it takes is a conversation.
Call Sims Williams Land and New Homes team on 01243 558735 today for an informal, no obligation discussion on your options.
Well done!
Land with Planning Permission is a hugely valuable and appealing asset to many house builders, developers, or self-builders who typically don’t have the time and resources to speculate on buying land on a ‘subject to planning’ basis.
You may now be considering whether to build the consented scheme yourself or sell the site on.
At this stage, it’s a good idea to get an up-to-date land valuation – one that considers the recently-achieved planning consent – alongside any changes in the local housing market.
This should also include an appraisal on the value of the proposed new build units so that you can understand the gross development value.
You may decide it makes financial sense to cash-out now without undertaking the building work.
Whatever you decide, Sims Williams is here to help and, if you decide to explore selling the land, we have the contacts to know who will offer a good price.
With an office dedicated solely to Land and New Homes, Sims Williams will give your development the attention it deserves.
When you work with us, we will make sure every member of our sales team knows your development inside out and that we will promote it at every opportunity.
We will make regular site visits to keep up to date with and monitor the building process.
