Newsteer supported MLPL (Severn Trent) and an adjoining landowner in securing outline consent for 50 homes at Etwall. After providing feasibility and viability advice, we jointly marketed the site and completed an unconditional sale to Redrow.
The client’s challenge
The landowners needed to establish whether a housing scheme was financially viable, secure planning permission and then capture value through a competitive disposal.
Our solution
Working with a land promoter, Newsteer provided financial feasibility and viability advice, supported the outline planning process and then marketed the consented site on an unconditional basis.
Beyond advice: how we added value
The instruction linked planning promotion, viability and disposal, allowing the landowners to understand value throughout the process and take the site to market with a clear development proposition.
Outcomes and impact
Outline permission was secured for 50 homes and the site was sold to Redrow, with provision for the buyer to seek an enhanced permission.
