This guide is designed for anybody who wants to develop land or property. The aim is to help you to assess whether your development goals are likely to be achievable and how to avoid common, costly mistakes.

This guide is 95 pages long and covers a huge range of aspects. It doesn’t go through every scenario, but discusses the common areas that people fail to check, which can leave them with a site they can’t develop the way they had hoped.  It covers the main ‘torpedo’ aspects i.e those things that would make a development dead in the water and discusses areas that can help to improve your chances of success, even with sites that have previously suffered from planning refusals.
