Building plots work covers acquiring land in England for new homes or mixed developments, negotiating covenants, and navigating planning controls and permissions. It involves assessing access, infrastructure requirements, and potential constraints before any sale, option, or option agreement is completed. A solicitor drafts and negotiates heads of terms, options and missives, coordinates planning applications, and arranges title checks, covenants, easements, and rights of way to secure a viable development site. The process is shaped by the planning system, compulsory purchase considerations, and section 106 planning obligations.
