PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Murray Chartered Surveyors take an active role in the development of land. With our experience we can advise on the prospects of obtaining planning approval for most types of development, ranging from a single building plot to a large site for residential or commercial development.
Our Planning & Development Services allow us to identify land at an early stage with development potential. These services combine the following:
Agency
- Sale of all types of land for development
- Advice on methods of sale from Auction to private treaty and formal tender
- Land acquisitions
- Advice on Option Agreements, Conditional Contracts, Joint Venture arrangements and S.106 Agreements
Valuation
With our in depth understanding of the local market, we are well placed to offer advice as to the value of land with latent potential or with the benefit of full planning approval.
This valuation advice deals not only with the value of the site with a planning consent but also projected values of the development upon completion. Our experience in residential property values has a direct influence on the valuation of residential building land. This enables Murray to achieve the optimum price for your land, sold on the open market.
Planning Consultancy
We employ a range of development and planning consultants to progress Planning Applications from inception to obtaining Planning Approval. Our strength lies in an understanding of the local issues which influence the planning authorities and their guidelines for development. We feel that consultation with the relevant authority at an early stage ensures the development proposals are dealt with swiftly and effectively
With the increasing demands upon land as a limited and valuable resource, it is essential that the proper advice is obtained to deal with these complex issues. At Murray, we offer a regionally based planning consultancy offering advice covering all areas of planning and development.
New Homes Department
Our New Homes Section has a direct relationship with our Planning and Development Department. This enables Murray to be one of the leaders in this field within the Rutland and Stamford area. This knowledge allows us to advise clients across the whole spectrum from the planning stage to subsequent disposal and benefits both landowners and property developers alike.
Rural Development
We are able to advise on proposed development within the countryside, ranging from agricultural diversification to rural housing. We are well placed to serve our clients, offering sound advise based on a broad understanding of rural issues and planning policy.
With the ever increasing pressures on the rural community, our farming clients are looking to diversify and generate alternative sources of income for the farm. Our work spans all sectors of rural planning to include quarrying, rural sports, caravan sites and other forms of farm business diversification.
