Planning Appraisals
Understanding whether a site is suitable for development is an important first step to unlocking potential.
Our planning appraisals provide a clear, structured assessment of what may realistically be possible for a site before significant time or money is committed.
Each review typically considers:
- Local planning policy and zoning
- Access and site constraints
- Density and development potential
- Comparable planning approvals nearby
- Risks and planning sensitivities
Our Rapid Site Appraisal (£99) provides a concise two-page desktop review of planning history, site constraints, policy context and likely development opportunities, delivered within 2 working days.
Looking beyond an initial screening? Our comprehensive site appraisals provide in-depth planning analysis, development strategy and clear recommendations to support investment and development decisions. Contact us to find out more about our comprehensive site appraisals.

Land Sourcing & Site Finding
We work with individuals, developers, and investors who are looking for the right site to bring their project to life. Whether you're planning a new build, small-scale development, or strategic land opportunity, we help identify suitable sites that align with your goals and budget.
With strong planning expertise and local insight, we assess opportunities for viability, policy alignment, and development potential — helping you move forward with confidence and clarity.
Our approach is practical, strategic, and focused on securing sites with real potential.
Planning Uplift & Development
Sell your land with Planning Uplift - without the risk
If you own land that may have development potential, securing planning permission can significantly increase its value. However, the process can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive.
That’s where we can help.
We work with landowners to explore the development potential of their land and, where it meets our criteria, we take on the cost and risk of pursuing planning permission. Any agreement or option to purchase the land would be subject to planning approval, meaning you don’t carry the financial risk of the planning process.
If permission is secured, the land can then be sold with the benefit of planning consent — often at a significantly higher value.

Working with Experienced Development Partners
We help landowners maximise the value of their land by securing planning permission and introducing sites to developers. As part of this process, we work closely with BuildUp and Rosey Cassidy to identify suitable development opportunities.
Where a site meets BuildUp’s investment criteria, the sale of the land may be progressed in partnership with their team.
Through this relationship, we have access to BuildUp’s in-house development expertise, including architects, planners, and project specialists. Collectively, this team has delivered over £100 million of development projects over the past 15 years.
BuildUp is led by Rosey Cassidy, a highly experienced land and development professional. Rosey previously worked as a land agent and was Land Director at the Cassidy Group. She has recently delivered a 17-home development in Cambridgeshire and now oversees a development pipeline with a gross development value exceeding £60 million.
