Land Development
Land Development Consultant in Eastbourne, Brighton and across Sussex
While it is a common belief that all land holds the promise of lucrative development, the truth can be more complex, so the advice of specialist land development consultant can be crucial to your decision.
The real questions that need addressing early on are:
- Can we obtain planning consent?
- Will the project be viable and profitable?
With years of expertise as land development consultants, both Anton Bree FRICS & Cath Penton MRICS are well-equipped and fully qualified to assess the true value of your land and the feasibility of development from the outset.
The usual process will be for an initial appraisal to include a site plan, detailing the number of potential units or type of development, that is feasible for the site. This will include advice on the likelihood of success and the value that may be achievable.
Thereafter, in our role as your land development consultants, we may recommend a Pre-Application or formal application for outline or detailed consent.
Subsequently, many clients also require us to put together and administer the team of consultants and employ us to oversee the application having regular updates as the Application progresses.
