Welcome to Gallagher Estates Gallagher Estates is one of the largest strategic land companies in the UK, promoting and developing residential and mixed use schemes in all geographical areas. We are not a house builder or contractor but play a unique role as master developer, taking forward and coordinating all aspects of the development process from initial site assembly through to master planning, planning promotion and Section 106 negotiations before implementing infrastructure and delivering serviced land to the market place. Our priority is to ensure that land values are maximised through a combination of efficient master planning and cost effective, value engineered, design solutions, often aided by our creative approach to problem solving.

About Us Gallagher Estates has a talented and experienced team of professionals engaged in the key disciplines essential to achieving our priorities of developing high quality residential and mixed use schemes throughout the UK.

Our core areas of expertise include: • Land Purchase and Site Assembly • Planning Promotion and Negotiation • Master Planning and Urban Design • I nfrastructure Design and Technical Approvals • Statutory Agreement • Community Engagement • Regeneration • Remediation • I nfrastructure Provision and Site Servicing •D elivery - the implementation of major projects

Our Approach We are proud to promote ourselves as the UK market leader in the development of thriving new communities.

Land Purchase and Assembly

Planning Promotion and Negotiation

With over forty years’ experience, Gallagher Estates is committed to securing the very best value for landowners. We are constantly looking for new development opportunities and have a very flexible approach when working with landowners, including:

Our in-house team of planning and technical professionals at Gallagher Estates is considered to be one of the most successful in the UK. We have decades of experience in promoting landholdings through all stages of the planning process from initial site identification, through to local plan examination and allocation, ultimately securing the right planning permission. Our team of “in house” planners are commercially astute to ensure the full development potential of any site is maximised at all stages of the planning process.

•F reehold Purchases (either with or without a future uplift) • Option Agreements • Joint Ventures • Promotion Agreements

Master Planning and Infrastructure Design Gallagher Estates utilises the skills and expertise of the UK’s best consultants and advisors across all aspects of development and project design.

As no two projects are the same, we ensure development costs are carefully controlled through intelligent infrastructure design to identify cost effective design solutions which are scrutinised by our in-house teams of engineers and cost planners.

If you own or know of land that you consider has development potential then we would be pleased to discuss the possibilities with you.

With an established track record of working with land owners on sites of differing characteristics including major regeneration projects, large urban extensions and new towns comprising up to 10,000 new homes, Gallagher Estates’ team of in-house professionals has the industry expertise to identify the best ways to maximise value, tailored to each individual landowner.

Infrastructure Provision and Delivery Through our in-house construction team, Gallagher Estates often carries out remediation and completes the delivery of infrastructure to development sites, enabling each site to be sold on a partially or fully serviced basis, thereby maximising its value and minimising the risk and lead-in times for house builders and contractors. This delivery includes not only the provision of on-site infrastructure but also off-site improvements, utility upgrades, remediation and earthworks. It also enables us to retain the responsibility for delivering Section 106 obligations including, for instance, the provision of a primary school or secondary school, community buildings, village centres, all weather sports pitches and strategic open space.

negotiations are required, Gallagher Estates is experienced in undertaking development appraisals to ensure the best outcome for all parties.

Community Engagement Gallagher Estates prides itself on engaging with local communities and key stakeholders. This takes place at all stages of the planning process and not just as a statutory part of a planning application submission. Two-way dialogue is actively encouraged, particularly with local residents and community groups.

Importantly, we provide an opportunity to add value and sell land more flexibly than our competitors.

Partnerships The size, scale and complexity of our development activities across the UK demands the creation of long term partnership working arrangements with a wide range of key stakeholders including:

Statutory Agreements The commercial negotiation of Section 106, Section 278, Section 38 and Section 104 Agreements is essential to ensure that value is maximised at every stage.

Gallagher Estates is well-known for ensuring that Section 106 and Affordable Housing obligations are both viable and deliverable and do not create onerous burdens on development. Where viability

Recent Projects

Northstowe, Cambridgeshire Northstowe is located approximately 8 miles northwest of Cambridge City Centre and is the first new town to be built in the UK for 50 years. It will eventually be home to around twenty-five thousand people living in 10,000 new homes and will be the third largest market town in Cambridgeshire.

Northstowe is the only town in the UK planned around a dedicated public transport system- the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway. Opened in August 2011, the Busway provides frequent services between Huntingdon, St. Ives and Cambridge, connecting to the railway stations and other key destinations such as Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Cambridge Science Park. Northstowe also benefits from the Government’s £1.5billion investment in the A14 trunk road improvements.

With the delivery of a new town comes a new town centre and the opportunity to provide the fullest range of commercial and community facilities and services for both new residents and those of surrounding villages. One of the key features

of Northstowe will be the provision of a new secondary school that will be home to one of the top performing state schools in the Country.

Gallagher Estates’ main roles at Northstowe have been to promote the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway through the planning system and to ensure the highest quality of master planning the whole town. The results of our hard work and effort are now being realised in Phase 1 - the gateway to the new town. Outline planning permission was granted in April 2014 for 1500 homes, a primary school, a mixed-use local centre, other employment uses, major strategic open space areas and a ‘water park’ along with a number of other community based uses that will serve the whole town.

Gallagher Estates is completing the strategic earthworks and delivering primary infrastructure that opens up the gateway to this new town.

Details of the project can be viewed by logging on to www.northstowe.com

Llanwern, Newport Located to the east of the Newport Southern Distributor Road, this sustainable urban extension to Llanwern village constitutes Newport City Council’s Eastern Expansion Area and is placed between the M4 motorway and the First Great Western London to Cardiff Railway Line.

The development consists of up to 1,100 dwellings, together with a village centre, primary school and associated open space and play areas.

Access into the site is achieved via Cot Hill Lane, which connects directly on to the SDR. The development delivers a broad mix of sustainable family housing with apartments featuring in prominent areas to contribute to the delivery of the most desirable mix of accommodation.

The delivery of these new homes will accord with a design code, prepared as part of the original planning application, to ensure a high quality of design is maintained throughout the project.

Gallagher Estates has delivered the first phase of development of up to 1,200 new homes, together with a new school, new parks and other valuable community facilities Following an extensive archaeological excavation programme Loves Farm has been developed in phases by some of the largest and most notable national house builders.
