Background
From one perspective, household growth in the UK is projected to grow at a rate that is outstripping the pace of new home development, creating a risk that not enough new homes are being built to provide for future generations. From another, government policy encourages sustainable development, through strict guidelines designed to lessen the impact on the environment.
The market is encouraged to consider previously developed ('brownfield') sites, which due to their location in established urban areas, can be more complex than the straight forward greenfield sites. Strong design criteria ensure that higher densities are incorporated within attractive layouts helping to generate higher returns for land owners. At the same time, the creation of mixed use residential and commercial schemes can help to deliver planning consents more quickly.
Bovis Homes aims to maintain a balanced strategy, acquiring both brownfield and greenfield sites. No matter what type of site, our professional approach to land purchase and development ensures a rapid decision with acquisitions made on flexible terms.
Our structure
Operating from regional offices but with a national presence, we can manage both small and large developments, due to the expertise gained over many years as one of the UK's most successful housebuilders.
Bovis Homes offers a ‘one-stop shop' for site acquisition, planning and development, working closely with landowners to help them achieve their goals:
- Professional expertise
- Partnership approach
- Quick decisions
- Specialists in mixed use developments
- Competitive and flexible purchase deals
- Proven record in gaining planning consents
Land opportunities
We appraise land quickly and effectively and are flexible in our methods of payment.
If you have a site which may have development potential or know of any similar opportunities, please contact your nearest Bovis Homes regional office - and we'll give you a rapid response.
Stages in the development process
These are the usual steps taken when reviewing a potential site for development:
Step 1 - seeing the potential of a site
No matter what the current condition of the site, Bovis Homes identifies the extent of any potential for development to maximise the site value.
Step 2 - analysing a site for future development
Bovis Homes has the ability to plan ahead and analyse exactly how a site can best be developed - and succeed in obtaining planning permission.
Step 3 - creating a well-designed master plan
Our teams have the necessary skills to fulfil government criteria and create attractively designed schemes integrating well into existing communities.
Step 4 - creating a sustainable community
The finished result is a high quality residential or mixed-use scheme that helps to create a sustainable community.
Managing the project
Bovis Homes has the practical experience and technical skills to gain planning permission and transform a wide variety of sites into mixed-use developments.
We are also skilled in building communities that blend in well with the local environment. Councils are often quick to recognise how the design of our schemes meets the immediate local need whilst addressing national and local planning policies to create attractive and sustainable developments.
In-house expertise
Bovis Homes is experienced in all areas of property acquisition and development. Unlike many other developers, we have the necessary in-house expertise to see a project through from start to finish.
