Strategic land

Beckland specialises in long term strategic land. A deep understanding of the market is brought into the process early so that strategic projects are guided in the right direction from the beginning.

Attleborough
Norfolk

In 2010 promoters were selected for 530 acres of land to the south of Attleborough. In 2020 this land was consented for 4,000 houses with a district centre, schools and a relief road.

Whilst the development has the potential to create an outstanding extension to the town, Attleborough values have historically been modest therefore the economics of such a large extension need careful management.

Key skills that are employed include:

  • bringing together private and other Landowners;

  • helping with planning strategies and planning agreements;

  • understanding the interplay between heavy infrastructure costs and development rates and values;

  • working with ongoing farming businesses.

North Uttlesford
Garden Village
Essex

North Uttlesford Garden Village (NUGV) represents an exciting opportunity to develop a high quality and sustainable development on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border.

In the area there are many employment areas and NUGV has the potential to provide much needed housing which respects the undulating and rural nature of the land but uses this to create an exceptional living environment.

Key skills that are employed include:

  • bringing together landowners in a collaboration agreement;

  • selecting, negotiating with and then contracting with a promoter;

  • monitoring the planning efforts of the promoter; managing the promotion expenditure;

  • guiding Landowners through complex planning issues.
