Land Promotion Opportunities

In Simple Terms

• Emcland partner land owners to promote their site through the planning process .

• We use our expertise and finance to gain planning permission on the land for residential use thus maximising its land value.

• Emc land then sell the site and receive an agreed % of the sales proceeds usually 20% and upwards .

The Market

• The housing market has limitless opportunities with current demand far out weighing supply.

• Even in the boom house builders could not build enough homes to meet demand .

• Current governments figures predict that we need between 200k and 250k new homes annually to be built to try and keep up with demand .

• Current build rates of new homes starting within the last year stands at around 130k starts .

• The raw ingredient house builders need is “ land with planning permission” .

• The demand for land with planning permission is getting ever stronger by the day .

• National Planning Policy Framework - Presumption in favour of sustainable development

• When considering development proposals the Council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. It will always work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the area.

• Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Local Plan (and, where relevant, with polices in neighbourhood plans) will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

Government Stance

The Concept

• Emc land work in partnership with landowners to promote their land to maximise the lands intrinsic value . The main objective is to obtain planning permission for a residential scheme on the site and hence increase the overall land value .

• Emcland look to fund the application process in return for an agreed % return of the overall value of the land once planning is granted .

• We control the complete planning process and engage industry partners for each site in order to progress the site forward .

• Emcland have total control of the planning process and once planning permission is obtained the sales and marketing of the land. Contracts are signed on each site with the landowners for a specified period of time for the promotion and an agreed % split once the land is sold .
