Challenges for housing land supply in the North West of England

There might be plenty of land in England - only around 8% of the country has been built on - but the supply of land where new homes are allowed to be built is heavily constrained by the planning system. Before homes can be built you need planning permission and - often - for the site to be allocated for housing development in a Local Plan first.

Along with a range of other industry experts, our managing director, Paul Smith, was invited to attend a roundtable discussion on the availability of housing land organised by Place North West on behalf of Onward Homes.

Watch the video to see highlights of what was a fascinating discussion covering the planning system, the practicalities of development, and even levelling-up.

Despite the constraints on land supply that the planning system imposes, The Strategic Land Group are experts are securing planning permission for new homes. As a land promotion company, we do that entirely at our own cost and risk. Our return is a share of the value of the site once it is sold so, if we don't succeed, it doesn't cost you anything.
