Site appraisal to planning-ready design — efficient design and viable construction
for developers who need a scheme that stacks up on paper and on site.
Barn Conversions
We help developers unlock the residential and commercial value of redundant agricultural buildings, working within Class Q permitted development rights or full planning routes where a scheme falls outside them. Retaining and adapting existing structures rather than demolishing and rebuilding keeps a project's fabric-first credentials intact, and often gets you to a viable scheme faster than a ground-up new build.
Infill Development
We identify and unlock underused or awkward parcels of land within or close to established residential areas helping you to maximise the return on sites that carry genuine development potential. As demand for housing grows and local authorities increasingly favour infill within existing settlement boundaries, we help you build a scheme that's both deliverable and focused on yield rates and returns.
Back-land Development
Where a site sits behind existing properties with no direct road frontage, we assess access, overlooking and amenity constraints early to establish whether a scheme is viable before you commit resource to a full design. This is often where the highest-risk, highest-reward opportunities sit, and getting the appraisal right first time protects your investment.
Permitted Development
We advise on which permitted development rights apply to a site including office-to-residential conversion so you can establish deliverable unit numbers without the time and cost of a full planning application. Where a Prior Approval or Lawful Development Certificate is needed to confirm the work is compliant, we can manage that process for you or focus on the design whilst working collaboratively with planning consultants.
Capacity Studies
Before you purchase we can provide early, often time-sensitive guidance on how many units a site could realistically support, so you can move at the pace a competitive market demands. Our capacity studies are built around what actually gets consented locally, not theoretical maximums, keeping your appraisal focused on yield and efficiency from the outset.
Feasibility Studies
We test design options against cost, planning risk and buildability, giving you a clear picture of what a scheme can deliver before design fees escalate. This is where massing, unit mix and specification get pressure-tested against viability, so decisions are made on evidence rather than assumption.
Multi-Site Portfolio Reviews
For developers assessing several opportunities at once, we review sites side by side to help you prioritise where capital and design effort should go first. This gives you a comparative view of deliverability and return across a portfolio, not just a single-site snapshot.
