Planning Permission
Development opportunities come in many different forms, however they can be classified into 2 distinct categories ; those which have a planning permission (often referred to as building permission) and those which do not. At CJH Land we advise land owners on the disposal of land with or without planning permission. We are often able to suggest improvements to an existing planning permission which may increase a sites value and saleability. We can also advise and give opinion on the promotion of land that has no planning history. Through our knowledge of the land and property development industry we are able to advise on the most appropriate forms of development for each individual opportunity. Ensuring that a site obtains the most suitable mixed use or residential planning consent is vital in achieving the maximum value providing it targets the desired market.
CJH Land deal with and sell many land and property development sites which already have a planning permission when we are initially instructed. In some instances we are instructed to dispose of opportunities which do not have a planning consent and developers and property speculators will take a 'risk' and complete the transaction without wanting to gain a planning permission.
There are numerous methods that can be considered for disposal and at CJH Land we will advise vendors taking each scenario on its own merits. It is our land and property development experience that when seeking to maximise a sites value, which does not have an existing planning consent, the most effective method is to agree a sale on a subject to planning basis. In this instance the purchaser will agree to buy the site and exchange contracts subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission (this is often referred to as a conditional contract). It then becomes the purchasers’ responsibility to submit the planning application at their own cost. If and when the planning consent is granted the purchaser will then complete the transaction.
Dealing with a site in this manner is a much more involved and lengthy process than just selling the site as is. There are many issues which must be covered through out the process from marketing the site, the information that needs to be provided, advising on the most appropriate offer, the purchasers submission of the planning application or planning applications and the obligations they will have, all the way through to the completion of contracts and the conclusion of the transaction.
One of the most important points to understand is that if one enters into a conditional contract, the purchaser is only obliged to complete if the conditionality is met i.e. in this case when the planning permission is granted. It is therefore vital that the developer / purchaser is not only submitting the most appropriate scheme but also has the expertise, knowledge and financial capacity to achieve the necessary planning consent. Our knowledge of the land and property development industry and of the parties who operate within it enables us to advise our clients on these very important issues.
