South West Strategic Developments (SWSD) is a strategic land promoter. We work collaboratively with landowners to help them unlock the development potential of their land, undertaking the process from inception through to planning consent, and then managing a sale of the consented site to a house builder.
The need for housing is widely accepted and has never been more acute. However, development can be an emotive subject, and the planning process intimidating: expensive, complex and time consuming.
With the benefit of experience as a landowner ourselves, our objective is to work with landowners to promote sites on their behalf in order to help overcoming these obstacles.
Our teams include specialists in planning, property, legal and technical disciplines, all of whom have many years of experience. We have a track record of securing permission for projects both at the local level, and via planning appeal where necessary.
During the preparatory and planning processes, we positively engage with Local Planning Authorities, Parish & Town Councils, Local Communities, Technical Consultees and Developers to try and agree schemes that are supported by as many stakeholders as possible.
We believe that this approach helps achieve positive outcomes because it is usually less confrontational than the strategy often pursued by other companies in the sector. We have an enviable reputation with both local authorities and our landowner partners for promoting responsible development where the wider community needs are taken just as seriously as the housing itself.
Having worked on a multitude of projects over the years, we understand that every landowner has different priorities which is why each of our agreements is individually tailored.
Our core team is directly involved throughout every project, and we strive to start promoting the land for development in the planning process as quickly as possible, with as much or as little input from the landowner as they would like.
