About Us

Mair Land & Planning Consultants was established by Stephen Mair, a full member of the Royal Town Planning Institute and associate member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

As a land and planning consultancy we are set up to advise land and property owners across the UK on all professional planning matters alongside dealing with development land sales and advising/negotiating on development agreements. Our aim is to provide clear and straightforward advice, tailored to each client and project, in order to maximise the value of your land and property.

With experience across both land and planning sectors we are well placed to ensure schemes comply with national and local planning policy and conform to the requirements of the planning system as well as being commercially viable, deliverable and marketable from a land and development perspective.

What can we offer?
We work across agricultural, commercial, rural, residential and industrial sectors.

We offer professional land, planning and development advice, including:

Site and Feasibility Appraisals

Initial advice and recommendations regarding the development potential of your land and property, and how best to maximise the value of your assets. Each appraisal will provide an update on national and local planning policy relevant to the project, assess any technical constraints, determine the likelihood of securing planning consent and provide a recommendation on next steps along with costings.

Planning Applications and Appeals

Experienced in assembling and submitting a wide range of planning applications and appeals, and guiding clients through what can be a time consuming and complex process. We work with experienced external consultants who provide input on technical matters including highways, flood risk and drainage, ecology and heritage. Each planning application is prepared and presented appropriately to the Local Planning Authority in order to maximise the chances of a successful outcome.

Local and Neighbourhood Plan Promotion

Engaging with and monitoring of local and neighbourhood plans to ensure appropriate promotion of land and property through the various consultation stages. This also ensures the consultancy is up-to-date on all planning policy developments at a national and local level.

Development Land Sales

Mair Land & Planning Consultants act on behalf of landowners in the disposal of development sites with and without planning permission. Previous experience includes the sale of development sites from single plots to hundred unit schemes. The objective is to implement and deliver a structured and targeted sales and marketing strategy to drive interest and achieve best price.

Development Agreements

Experienced in acting on behalf of landowners in respect of development agreements including Conditional Contracts, Option Agreements and Promotion Agreements. These agreements enable landowners to achieve an increase in land value without the financial investment to obtain planning consent.

Strategy

Each project is unique and requires a different strategy.

Whether that be an individual who wishes to pursue planning as a private landowner, including the initial investment to secure planning consent and dispose of the site, or a landowner who wishes to explore the possibility of enhancing the value of their property through discussions with a developer or land promoter – please contact us to discuss how we can assist in providing a tailored and focused strategy based on experience across the land and planning sectors.
