Development / Development Land

Townsend Chartered Surveyors provide advice to help identify and realise development potential for landowners, developers and occupiers including the following:

assessment of development potential
change of use
diversification
barn conversions
hope value
investment land
residential, agricultural and commercial development
uplift clauses
“lift and shift” easements

Once development potential is identified we can provide a complete planning service to assist in realising that potential. We are also able to use the full range of property services we provide including our residential, agricultural, sporting and holiday letting complex property agency to advise on the likely value of the completed development. Our planning service includes in-depth advice, a drawing service, GPS and site surveying and feasibility studies.

We have particular experience in assisting rural clients with barn conversions to obtain full residential or holiday letting use consent.

We have successfully marketed building plots, farms with courtyard buildings with planning permission for residential and holiday letting use, barns for conversion and derelict mansions to be renovated and restored, using our extensive register of prospective purchasers, developers and property search agencies.
