DEVELOPMENT & PLANNING
SMART SOLUTIONS FOR A CHANGING PROPERTY LANDSCAPE
Welcome to Ceres Property, an independent specialist consultancy providing expert, tailored planning and development advice to a broad range of clients including landowners, developers and investors.
As part of Ceres Group, our business is large enough to provide clients with the extensive experience of our highly qualified team, yet small enough to provide the agility that ensures a
swift response to new policy and development proposals.
Our team has extensive experience in development consultancy, strategic land advice, and a wide range of planning and land consultancy matters, including acquisitions, disposals and land transactions.
Working with the Ceres Property team, you can expect a flexible, experienceled approach, innovative thinking and a fresh perspective that will help you achieve effective, measurable and individually tailored solutions to the challenges of today’s ever-changing and complex property market.
UNLOCKING THE VALUE & POTENTIAL OF YOUR LAND
Ceres Property has earned a reputation as a highly respected and trusted advisor to landowners. With years of combined development experience, our team is well placed to support clients with individual objectives and development opportunities in the short, medium and long term.
From small-scale projects to strategic urban extensions across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors, our proactive, forward-thinking approach ensures a smooth process from start to finish. Our skill set and knowledge, along with our bespoke marketing campaigns and valuable network of contacts, help maximise value for our clients in terms of both land acquisition and disposal.
Ceres Property provides targeted, individual and independent support and sound, up-to-date advice tailored to your specific requirements. We can assist with viability, feasibility, land assembly, landowner agreements, S106 negotiations, residual appraisals and financial modelling. We’ll guide you in choosing the right development agreement and finding a partner that aligns with your objectives. We support our clients every step of the way, from identifying a development partner and navigating the legal process to monitoring the project and orchestrating a successful sale following the grant of planning permission.
DELIVERING INNOVATIVE PLANNING SOLUTIONS
Acting for house builders, commercial developers, landowners, farmers, private and public institutions and charitable organisations, Ceres Property’s expert planning team has a strong track record for securing outline, full and reserved matters planning consents, supporting the delivery of strategic land and achieving successful outcomes in planning appeals.
The success of any project is based on the formulation of a thorough and coherent planning strategy at the outset.
Whatever your planning needs are, from innovative strategies to expert advice and support, our team is here to work with you. We offer advice on permitted development and prior approval applications, which can provide a valuable alternative route to securing consent for a development project.
At Ceres Property, we work through the full planning lifecycle, attend local plan examinations and forge strong relationships with local councillors and planning officers in order to secure planning permissions.
When promoting future allocations in local plans, we assemble professional and competent delivery teams of experts in master planning and technical advice.
