Residential Development Land Update

7th October 2013

The last 12 months have been exceptionally busy for Armitstead Barnett’s residential development team representing a variety of clients across a wide array of sites and matters.

This year has seen us provide advice across nine local authority areas covering a large proportion of the North West.

Below is a snapshot of the types of opportunities advised upon during 2013:

  • South Ribble Council – 24 acres greenfield site. Planning due to be submitted within early 2014
  • Preston City Council – 40 acre site negotiated into strategic option agreement for promotion
  • Wyre Borough Council – two adjacent sites with promotion now being undertaken by strategic land company
  • Fylde Borough Council – sale of a small village centre site with planning consent for 11 dwellings successfully negotiated with local developer
  • Bury Council – advice on option agreement with a national developer
  • Preston City Council – land site area requiring strategic representation for the period post 2026
  • Wyre Borough Council – site for 24 residential properties with early planning submission clauses contained within the negotiated conditional contract.

2013’s activity clearly demonstrates the depth and breadth of our skills and experience with a range of clients and a variety of different land type holdings.
If AB could help you investigate your land options, please contact David Cowburn BSc (Hons) FRICS FAAV for an informal discussion.
