Whether you're considering an extension, replacement dwelling, garden development or a wider land opportunity, our Property Enhancement Strategy provides an independent assessment of your property's potential and the most appropriate way forward.
...but don't know where to begin.
You may be asking:
Rather than jumping straight into expensive architectural drawings or specialist surveys, the Property Enhancement Strategy helps you understand the bigger picture first.
The Property Enhancement Strategy is a structured assessment of your property, bringing together planning, site analysis and development expertise to identify the opportunities, constraints and most appropriate direction for the site.
The purpose of the strategy is to provide clear, independent advice before you invest significant time or money.
Detailed design only adds value once the right strategy has been established.
By assessing the wider planning context, site constraints and development opportunities first, we can help identify the options most likely to add value before progressing to the next stage.
In many instances, this also means that a measured survey is not generally necessary at the outset, allowing early decisions to be made using existing information before commissioning further work .
This brings together planning, design and commercial considerations to provide a balanced assessment of the available opportunities.
Alongside our independent recommendations, we also provide initial concept design solutions and / or an indicative development framework for the proposed strategy.
Understanding the property is the starting point.
We assess the existing building and site, their relationship with the local context, how they function today and the opportunities they present for enhancement and / or development:
◦ Existing accommodation
◦ Building form, layout and character
◦ Access & parking
◦ Relationship with neighbouring properties
◦ Existing planning history
Every property sits within a wider planning context that influences what may be achievable, including matters such as:
◦ Planning policy & frameworks
◦ Surrounding development
◦ Site characteristics
◦ Settlement context
◦ Previous planning decisions
◦ Other relevant planning considerations
Every site has limitations as well as opportunities. Relevant site constraints are assessed including:
◦ Flood risk
◦ Trees, Ecology & Landscaping
◦ Heritage
◦ Highways
◦ Easements & Rights of Way
◦ Other site specific considerations
At the same time we identify site specific opportunities for:
◦ Extensions
◦ Alterations & reconfigurations
◦ Replacement dwellings
◦ Garden development
◦ Additional plots
◦ Wider land opportunities
We also consider whether the proposal represents a sensible investment. Where appropriate, we provide an initial commercial overview, considering factors such as:
◦ Development potential
◦ Project complexity
◦ Likely risks
◦ Overall viability
◦ Potential value enhancement
◦ Recommendations for further investigation where appropriate.
