Strategic land

We are highly experienced in the promotion of strategic land and have secured a wide range of significant allocations on behalf of clients. Many of these are large scale strategic projects and are central to Development Plan strategies. We frequently appear at Local Plan and Neighbourhood Plan Examination in order to help secure such allocations.

'Steffan and LRM provide an invaluable service in negotiating the planning process in Wales. Their knowledge of both local and national planning enables confidence at an early stage of the development process and informs financial viabilities. Furthermore, their coordinated and proactive project management of the planning process, from PAC to full planning, enables the developer to step away from planning and focus on other aspects of the delivery.'
