Planning & Development overview
Planning & Development
Carter Jonas’ Planning and Development Division pulls together all the skills needed to maximise the value of land or buildings with development potential.
Whether this be architecture and design to assess the capacity, planning expertise to achieve consent, valuation to assess value and facilitate finance, or agency expertise to advise on the best uses to maximise value, all the key skills are available.
This is coupled with a team of highly-experienced development surveyors, who are skilled at assessing risk and reward to maximise returns and minimise risk, and who can drive projects through to completion on time and on budget.
The firm offers a national service, acting for major landowning clients such as The Crown Estate, The Church Commissioners and Cemex across the country, as well as many developers, other property owners and local authorities, from four hub offices in Leeds/Harrogate, Cambridge, Oxford and London. The planning and development team can also call on expertise from any of the other offices of the firm, including local agency advice, minerals and waste management, renewable energy and building surveying.
Clients can rest assured that they will get the person with the right expertise wherever a project is located.
