Strategic Land

Local authorities are under pressure to release pockets of land to produce 300,000 new homes a year nationally. Often there simply isn’t sufficient available land to provide the housing numbers in city centres so councils are forced to consider the release of brownfield and greenbelt land in order to provide housing numbers. Land located on the fringes of existing village settlements are the natural extensions to many towns and Chartwell have a proven track record in identifying and securing planning permission on land for future housing.

Promoting strategic land of this nature involves a substantial amount of time and investment often taking 2 – 5 years to progress through the planning system but well worth the financial reward for the landowner should planning be granted.

Below are some examples of current and recent projects that Chartwell are working on. If you believe your land offers potential for future housing then please get in touch for a free and confidential appraisal of your land: 01883 460 460 / martyn@chartwellpropertygroup.com.
