Clayland have been working with land owners in Norfolk over many years to promote and deliver housing schemes with commercial viability and deliverability in mind

Far too often land promoters obtain planning for land owners winning the planning battle but losing the commercial war. This leaves the land owner with land and planning consent but with too many onerous planning conditions and therefore undeliverable sites that no developer has appetite to take on.

Clayland are happy to do a land appraisal with any land owner, please contact the office and ask for our land specialist.

Understanding the context and place at an early stage is vital in planning the framework of a larger scheme

We have specialist skills in Urban master planning and regeneration schemes working with communities to develop your concept plans and outline schemes. Our experience in master planning has led to many repeat commissions.

Working for you in partnership with other planning specialists we can produce highly detailed and socially conscious master plan layouts for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.

If you’ve ever tried to build a scheme from poor planning drawings, you’ll know how important a good planning consent is and how expensive a poor one can be

Our experience ensures that we can provide you with information and guidance to simplify this process and ensure that the maximum potential of your project is realized. We can find out in advance whether you might need a tree survey or an historic buildings report.

A full planning application can be extremely complex

It generally involves surveying the site, production of contract and administration documents, retrieving site specific information from external sources, and of course sitting down with you and formulating a detail design brief. Once these have been done, we are then able to start the process of design and the production of drawings.

We will organise all forms, certificates and written reports such as Conservation and Listed Building applications, Design and Access Statements and Vulnerable Development reports, as well as SAP/SBEM assessments, Secured By Design applications, and other third party consultations.

Our unique selling point and best strength is the fact that we are not only a planning consultant, but also a long-established developer and these skills are all in-house, not contracted out

Therefore, when we promote a parcel of land, be it for one house or 150 houses, we always ensure that we maximise the best commercial value of the site and ensure that its deliverable.

We have experience in dealing with all the common obstacles such as onerous highways conditions, section 106 agreements, flood risk, contamination, ecology, archaeology, CIL levies and so on.
