Wates Developments’ Post

Another Friday, another flat completion. Thanks to Sandra Carleton and Chase Buchanan Trowbridge for the great work. Fingers crossed for another one completing next Friday. Always nice to see a building you’ve converted being lived in, when it’s been empty for so many years as an un-used commercial space. #Completion #flat #Salecompletion #housing #property #propertydeveloper

Reminder Bids to be submitted by 4th April

Very pleased to have worked with Welbeck Land Limited and Damon Turner for this site which should never ended up at an appeal. The appeal was for 46 new homes, 35% of which will be affordable. First couple of iterations of the scheme chopped off units. Key points about the site: The site was a draft allocation, an extension to an existing development. It has only taken 5 years to get consent. No statutory objections for the latest iteration. This third application was refused at committee in June 2023 despite an officers recommendation to approve and again, no statutory objections. A one day hearing took place last month and permission as attached. Astonishing really that the planning system as know it can hold up such scheme for such a significant amount of time. Lovely to work closely at the appeal with Paul Carnell and vanessa ross and others. Pleased we got the right answer in the end. #strategicland #planning #planningpermission #housingcrisis #housing #newhomes #aplacetocallhome #development #housing #strategiclandandplanning #strategicplanning #endingthehousingcrisis

What do you think? Can projects like Magnolia Tank Farm help to #EndHomelessnessOC?

We are in the market for brownfield development opportunities in excess of three acres within city centres and towns across the Midlands. With 3,500 plots either in production or planning, we are now gearing up to deliver 1,000 new homes per annum, in order to double our turnover to circa £250m. We expect to commence construction on five new developments this year, which have a combined GDV of close to £350m.   James Dickens, our MD, said: “Land assembly, planning and pre-construction work can take several years. The new administration in No.10 has big ambitions to speed up the process, which we welcome and support, but changes will take time to implement at a local level. We couldn’t be prouder of our pipeline of major residential-led sites, but we need to acquire more development land before this year is out.   “The area we have intrinsic knowledge of is the East and West Midlands. It’s where our executive and management team live, where the majority of our core supply chain partners are based, and where we have an existing track record and established working relationships with local authorities. "We would love to do more in Wolverhampton and across the Black Country, as we firmly believe the Birmingham ripple effect should be accelerating the regeneration of well-connected locations, such as Smethwick, Walsall and Dudley.   “In the East Midlands, we are keen to acquire our first sites in Leicester and Nottingham, as well as build upon our reputation in Derby. "Our redevelopment of the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary into the Nightingale Quarter is in the final phases, and we have the redevelopment of Friar Gate Goods Yard, Milford Mills near Belper, and Full Street in the Cathedral Quarter in our immediate pipeline. Complex, dirty land, with historic assets is our sweet spot. "We are keen to hear from landowners and agents with new opportunities.” Donna Smith Ben Clarke Matthew B.

If you've lost a NSW #strata building, here's where to find it It’s hard to believe you could lose a #strata title building, but it is possible. Let me explain. I don’t mean that a strata building can vanish, as it’s stuck in the ground, is not going anywhere soon, and the strata owners, occupiers, managers and contractors know where it is. But most strata buildings are invisible to outsiders who usually can’t easily identify the plan number from its location or the location from a plan number without some insider help or lots of formal property searches. Now in NSW anyone can get basic strata building information for free at #StrataHub with an address or plan number. Read more at GoStrata Media via this link in our bio ... https://lnkd.in/g3Hgnv8W

When visiting different properties in search of your perfect new parcel, be sure to ask this very important question: “What can the land be used for?” This will not only help you choose the right property, but it will also help you learn about any zoning restrictions. For example, if you plan to build a home, then the property must be zoned for residential construction. If a listing isn’t clear on zoning restrictions, reach out to the local planning and zoning department before you make an offer. You don’t want to buy land only to find out that you can’t use it for your intended purpose. #ChoosePalmetto #PalmettoRealty #DeLandRealty #BuyingLand #SellingLand #Property #SupportLocal #VolusiaCounty #SeminoleCounty #DeLand #OrangeCity #DeBary #DeLeonSprings #LakeHelen #DaytonaBeach #Pierson #Sanford #LakeMary #CentralFlorida #RealEstate #FloridaRealEstate #CentralFloridaRealty #LandSales #LandSpecialists
