Land Planning

A sound development strategy

As a privately owned developer and with a team of in-house experts who support our land planning process, Highwood’s ability to secure approvals on a raft of diverse planning applications is a sign of our sound development strategy.

A trusted pool of architectural and planning resources

We rely on our in-house team of experts and a trusted pool of architectural and planning resources that ensures necessary permissions are processed smoothly and granted without complications.

Our team includes specialists in fields including architecture, ecology, arboriculture, green infrastructure, landscape, noise and air quality, sustainability and regeneration and, through our work, we have fostered excellent relationships with planning authorities.

Adept at maximising land value

Together, we’ve shown council planners we’re adept at promoting and maximising land value for even the most complex regeneration or urban expansion sites, which invariably bring their own set of social, economic or environmental constraints and challenges that we’ve overcome.

This has enabled us to gain successful planning consents for residential developments, community centres, allotments and revive sporting facilities that benefit everyone who lives in and around the environments we conceive.
