Development

Enhancing the value of our estate through active asset management, first class design and sustainability.

Working with our partners

Working with our partners

Whether protecting the old, or developing the new, our approach is consistent - we demand the best. We value quality architecture and excellence in design because we understand the impact they can have on quality of life. We do not subscribe to one particular form or style.

Working with local authorities we produce development briefs for sites which are allocated for development. Our 'Design Guide' covers our core principles when it comes to development.

We work alongside development and construction partners ensuring they aspire to the same high standards we do. Our partners are required to work to our design briefs to deliver high quality buildings that respond to both the challenges of today and tomorrow, and that fit into and support the local environment.

Using these robust criteria and systems, we produce high quality award winning developments such as our energy efficient homes at Burnhill Green.

Active management

Active management

On the rural estate we actively manage our property assets, make selective property sales and purchases, and promote development through the planning process.

We have a firm commitment to engagement and consult with local communities to ensure we respond to local sensitivities.

We take a long-term view of landholding and appreciate the importance of delivering balanced, sustainable development that accommodates the needs of local communities and enhances the environment.

And in promoting new development we want our projects to make a positive contribution to a community and be an asset to be proud of.
