Land Development

ASK A QUESTION

Land development rarely moves in a straight line. Arrangements get restructured, planning conditions shift, and the site you started with isn’t always the site you finish with. We work with landowners, promoters and developers through all of it.

We advise on strategic land matters from the initial structuring of arrangements through to development and disposal. That includes negotiating development agreements, working through planning and infrastructure requirements, and supporting site acquisitions and disposals as a scheme progresses.

Every development brings its own risks, whether that’s a planning condition that changes the numbers, an infrastructure requirement that wasn’t in the original plan, or a buyer who wants different terms at exchange. We work alongside your other advisers, land agents, planning consultants, funders, so the legal side moves at the same pace as the rest of the project.


Get us in early, and we can help shape the project rather than just react to it.

We work with landowners, promoters and developers at every stage: an early conversation about options on a site, or the disposal of units once a scheme completes. Wherever you sit on that scale, here’s where our land development work applies.

If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
