Firm Advises on Over £250 Million of Development Land Deals in a Year

Blandy & Blandy LLP’s Commercial Property and Planning & Environmental Law teams have surpassed the £250 million mark, in terms of completed development land deals during the past financial year, highlighting the firm’s significant experience and expertise in this area.

In 2015 Blandy & Blandy advised the University of Reading on its disposal of a 100 acre development site within the South of M4 Strategic Development Location (SDL). The deal was described by Kat Norton, Savills UK Director, National Development, in the media as "one of the largest UK strategic sites in 2015.”

Blandy & Blandy acts for both landowners and developers, large and small, advising on areas including strategic planning and land opportunities, sales and purchases, options and conditional contracts, highways, interpretation of planning permissions, nature conservation and built heritage, planning obligations and enforcement issues.

This success is endorsed by the UK’s leading legal directories, Chambers UK and The Legal 500, which both rank the firm highly in the ‘Real Estate’, ‘Planning’ and ‘Environment’ practice areas.

According to Chambers UK, ‘Blandy & Blandy maintains a strong reputation for successfully gaining planning permissions for complex schemes’ and is ‘experienced in land development and the full spectrum of transactional commercial property concerns.’

Both teams continue to strengthen and grow.

Partner Jane Gunnell said: “Blandy & Blandy’s development land team is uniquely placed to provide clients with strategic and commercial input in view of our extensive experience of high value land transactions and specialist planning law expertise.”
