Landowners
Explore what your land could make possible
A personal, no-obligation starting point for owners of gardens, plots, buildings and land with potential for new homes.
A simple first step
You do not need to know whether development is possible
Many worthwhile opportunities begin with a landowner asking a straightforward question. You do not need drawings, specialist knowledge or an existing planning application—an address, approximate dimensions and a few photographs are enough for an initial review.
- Large or unusually deep gardens
- Side plots and gaps between properties
- Infill or backland opportunities
- Redundant buildings or previously used land
- Land with possible residential access
Useful starting information
What should I send?
The first review is easier when we have:
- The address or nearest postcode
- Your relationship to the land
- Approximate width and depth
- The current use of the site
- Any known access or planning information
There is no obligation from making an initial enquiry.
What we consider
Every opportunity is assessed on its own facts
There is no fixed minimum site size. Shape, access, surroundings, planning policy and the relationship with neighbouring homes can matter as much as total area, so every opportunity is considered individually.
GARDENS & SIDE LAND
Space beside or behind a home
Deep gardens, corner plots and land beside existing homes may merit a review where a safe and practical access could be achieved.
INFILL & BACKLAND
Gaps within existing areas
Underused land between or behind buildings can sometimes support carefully designed homes that respond to the local setting.
BUILDINGS & FORMER USES
Sites ready for a new purpose
Redundant workshops, yards, garages and other previously used land may offer an opportunity for residential redevelopment.
How the journey works
Six clear stages, with no commitment at the enquiry stage
The exact route depends on the site and any agreement reached. This outline shows how an opportunity may progress.
Initial assessment
We consider planning context, constraints, access, neighbouring development and indicative capacity.
Conversation or visit
If the site merits further work, Aaron will discuss your circumstances and may arrange a site visit.
A proposed route
We explain the possible agreement structure, responsibilities and next steps in straightforward language.
Professional work
Where agreed, the appropriate planning, design, legal and technical advisers can be instructed.
Planning and next decision
The outcome and the agreed arrangement determine what happens next. No planning result is guaranteed.
Planning and professional costs
Agreed planning costs will be funded by ARM Developments
Where ARM Developments formally agrees to progress a suitable site, we will cover the agreed costs of preparing and submitting the planning application. The scope and process will be confirmed in writing before significant work begins.
The scope, responsibilities and route would be explained before significant work begins. Landowners should obtain independent legal advice before entering any binding agreement.
Clear answers
Important points from the beginning
Is my enquiry confidential?
Site information is handled for the purpose of reviewing the opportunity and discussing it with you. Essential professional input would only be sought where appropriate and subject to the relevant arrangements.
Am I committed?
No. An initial enquiry and review do not commit you to proceed. Any formal arrangement would be explained, documented and agreed separately.
Will planning be approved?
No developer can responsibly guarantee planning permission. Early assessment helps identify the strengths, constraints and work needed to make an informed decision.
Start with the address and approximate size
A few basic details are enough for Aaron to begin an initial, no-obligation review.
