Could your land have development potential?
Find out before committing thousands to a planning application
A piece of land doesn't need to have an obvious planning history to be worth investigating.
Garden land, redundant buildings, infill plots, former commercial sites, agricultural buildings and awkward parcels of land can all present development opportunities, but understanding which planning route to pursue is often the difficult part.
Ikonic Architecture's Development Potential Assessment is an early-stage desktop review designed to answer a straightforward question:
Is this site worth pursuing?
Before you commission surveys, consultants and a full planning application, we'll investigate the site and give you a practical assessment of its development prospects.
Understand what your site could become
Our Development Potential Assessment gives you an early, practical view of what may be achievable before you commit to the cost of a planning application and specialist reports.
Your assessment will consider
-
The site's planning position
How local and national planning policy applies to the land. -
Possible routes to development
The planning strategies that may offer the strongest way forward. -
Development capacity
An early indication of the scale and number of homes the site could potentially accommodate. -
Opportunities and constraints
The physical, environmental and planning factors likely to shape a proposal. -
Planning history and local context
Previous decisions on the site and relevant development nearby. -
Our view of the opportunity
A clear professional assessment of the site's strengths, weaknesses and overall development prospects. -
A route forward
The investigations, design work or planning steps we recommend taking next.
How it works
Send us the site address, postcode or a location plan, along with a short description of what you're considering.
We'll first check that the service is appropriate for the site.
If it is, we'll carry out the assessment and provide our findings, followed by a 20-minute call to discuss the opportunity and your next steps.
Fixed fee
Typically completed within 5 working days of receiving the information we need.
