Land Acquisition
Castlemere Developments specialises in identifying and unlocking the hidden potential of land and underused property.
Many landowners may not realise the full value of their asset, whether it’s a large garden, a redundant building or a parcel of land with complex planning issues.
We are committed to making the process straightforward, transparent and efficient, with decisions made quickly and fairly.
Sites of Interest
We are actively seeking land and property in London and the Home Counties. Our interest covers a broad range of opportunities, including:
​
-
Large gardens or parcels of land
-
Former commercial sites and unused buildings
-
Barns, courtyards and structures suitable for conversion
-
Airspace developments above existing buildings
We will consider land with or without planning permission and we welcome sites with complex planning challenges.
​
With proven expertise and a track record of navigating the planning system, we enjoy working through constraints to deliver viable solutions.
Planning Permission
Castlemere Developments has particular expertise in securing planning permission for challenging sites.
Our track record includes achieving consent through the appeal process, while wherever possible, we work proactively with local councils and engage with the community to ensure positive outcomes.
​
Our experience extends to sensitive and complex locations, including sites within the greenbelt, conservation areas and listed buildings.
By combining persistence with a collaborative approach, we are able to unlock opportunities that others might overlook. This means landowners can approach us with confidence​
Our Approach
Working with Castlemere Developments is designed to be simple.
Our size and structure allow us to make decisions quickly and provide clear numbers without delay.
We are easy to deal with, committed to re-instructing agents on the sale of new homes, and focused on building strong relationships with landowners and professionals.
​
With over £20 million of developments completed in the last 18 months, we have demonstrated both credibility and reliability.
​
From first enquiry to final sale, we make the journey efficient and stress-free, handled with professionalism at every stage.
Our Process
Castlemere Developments believes the process of selling land for development should be straightforward and stress-free.
Our structure allows us to act quickly, make clear decisions and move from initial discussion to completion without unnecessary delays.
Each opportunity begins with a transparent assessment of the site’s potential. We work closely with planning officers, advisors and specialist consultants to ensure every proposal is compliant, viable and in line with local requirements.
​
Once we have identified the potential for development, we formalise an agreement with the landowner for a defined period of time. During this period, we manage the planning process on your behalf, covering all applications, reports and associated costs.
​
Our efficient framework ensures the landowner receives fair value and certainty and enables us to make firm commitments early, minimise risk for all parties and deliver projects that are both commercially and socially valuable.
Our Commitment
We recognise that every development has an impact and we take that responsibility seriously.
Castlemere Developments prioritises the use of previously developed or underutilised land to reduce pressure on greenfield sites.
We design sensitively, working to complement the character of local areas while meeting the growing need for quality housing.
​
Sustainability is central to our work. From energy-efficient construction methods to thoughtful design enhancing communities and neighbourhoods, we are committed to creating developments that benefit the environment, residents and the wider community.
