DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANCY

Land Promotion

At BTF, we work with landowners to identify and unlock the long-term development potential of land through strategic land promotion. Whether promoting sites through the Local Plan process, entering into agreements with developers or promoters, or preparing land for sale, we offer independent, commercially focused advice at every stage. Our team has a strong track record across the South East, combining planning expertise with accurate valuation insight to guide clients through option agreements, promotion agreements, and landowner collaboration structures. We help you understand your site’s potential, assess risk, and secure the best route to maximise value—while maintaining control over the land’s future use and timing of release.

REPRESENTING YOU THROUGHOUT

Our Services


Planning Strategy & Site Identification

We assess your land’s planning prospects and advise on the best route to promotion—whether through the Local Plan process, neighbourhood planning, or speculative planning applications. Our understanding of local authority priorities helps position your site for success.


Promotion & Option Agreements

We advise on the structure and negotiation of promotion agreements, option agreements, and hybrid models—ensuring your interests are protected, and that the promoter or developer is fully incentivised to deliver value. We explain the pros and cons of each route and help you choose the most appropriate strategy.


Landowner Collaboration

Where multiple landowners are involved, we coordinate joint approaches to create unified, deliverable sites. We manage landowner agreements and alignment of objectives to enhance planning potential and attract higher-value interest from developers.


Valuation & Market Insight

Our Chartered Surveyors provide accurate, evidence-based land valuations and appraisals throughout the process. These inform your negotiations, clarify your financial position, and help secure strong outcomes when land is allocated or sold.


Development Disposal & Negotiation

Once planning permission is secured, we act as agents in the sale of your land marketing strategically, managing the bidding process, and negotiating terms to ensure maximum value is achieved. We stay involved through to completion, safeguarding your interests throughout.
