Identifying and securing new sites is a key part of the development industry and Blue Fox Planning is well placed to assist you in the search for sites / land.

Our approach is to identify the type and size of sites you are seeking in locations that provide good values and commercial return. We are able to provide site search services tailored to your specific requirements based on the following staged approach below.

Our Staged Approach

1. To identify broad areas of search at specific locations / settlements.
  • Identify key constraints and opportunities and planning considerations. 
  • Review of adjacent land uses and designations, including recent permissions or developments.
  • Appraisal of current and emerging planning policy context, specifically the Spatial Strategy, Housing Requirement and land supply position.
  • Review of Local Plan evidence base, including the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA).
  • Concluding Report based on ‘traffic light’ system setting out the planning potential of specific locations.
2. Detailed assessment of specific site options
  • Review of landownership / titles.
  • Identification of likely constraints and opportunities to delivery.
  • Engage with landowners on your behalf.
  • Liaise with the local planning authority to discuss identified site(s) and their future development potential.
  • Recommendations and strategies for the delivery of sites, either through the local plan process or application route, and in some cases a hybrid approach.
