GET PLANNING ON YOUR LAND WITH NO UPFRONT INVESTMENT
We help small and medium landowners get planning permission on a no win no fee basis
No upfront investment
We work with suitable landowners on a no win no fee basis. You bring the land, we bring the investment and the knowhow.
Maximise your value
Getting the right planning on your land can increase its value exponentially. We make sure you get the best possible price for your asset.
Deep market expertise
We've been building homes since 1973. Getting planning is never guaranteed, but we know how to give you the best chance.
Getting planning permission in the UK is time is expensive,
time consuming and risky.
Maximise the value of your land with market optimised planning permission
Do you have a parcel of land which would make a great development, but you're not sure how to maximise the value? Or maybe you have a plot, but you don't know what a developer might be looking for? Or you might simply want to explore what's possible.
Getting planning permission in the UK for development projects is expensive, time consuming and risky. Many landowners just don't know where to start. Or they waste a lot of time and money with expensive 'planning consultants' and end up getting approval on a scheme that the market doesn't want.
We work with landowners, on a no win no fee basis, to maximise the value of their land for an onward sale. We take on the whole planning process and invest our own money. Because of our background in development, we make sure that the schemes we develop are commercially viable and achieve the best return for our clients.
How it works
We work out if the project is a fit
We understand what you're looking for and if we can help. We only go forward if it's a win win for both parties.
Bannerchoice Planning look after the whole process
We invest our own time and money to secure planning. We make sure we develop a scheme that will maximise value.
If/when planning is granted we market the project.
We work with agents and our own network to market the scheme and get the best possible price for the land.
We take our fee on the sale
We take our planning costs and a fee for our time. The rest goes back to you. We only get paid if the land sells.

"We wasted a lot of time with 'planning consultants', but Bannerchoice Planning really delivered."
"Bannerchoice Planning took control of the whole planning process from the get go. Planning was not easy, but Bannerchoice fought hard to get the right scheme. In the end we not only got the planning we wanted, we also sold the land for a great price "
- Michael, Landowner, Essex
The problem with 'planning consultants'
Planning consultants are great at 'getting planning' but they don't have experience of actually building out schemes.
Small changes in design can mean big big changes in cost on site. Just one or two design tweaks can add or save £1000s on each plot.
Planning consultants don't sell houses either. They won't be able to tell you what the market wants and what sells well in your area.
For a scheme to fetch a good price it has to be efficient to build and quick to sell. That's where we come in - we understand both sides of the equation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a planning consultancy?
Although we know about planning, we are NOT a traditional planning consultancy. We work with our partners on a joint venture basis. We don't charge fees upfront and invest our own money to get planing on the land. If and when we do get planning we market the property together and we take our fees at the end.
Are you developers?
Our sister company, Bannerchoice Developments has been developing for over 50 years. Because of this we know a thing or two about getting planning. Bannerchoice Planning runs as a separate business unit, but we take the know how from our years of experience developing sites.
What kind of sites are you looking for?
That's a good question. In general we look for small to medium sites (from 0.5 acres to 2 acres) near settlement boundaries. Our sweet spot is up to around 20 dwellings.
Why should we work with you?
Our clients love working with us because we offer them the chance to massively increase the value of their land with little risk. Because we work on a joint venture basis, we take the risk of the project and get paid at the end. Because of our background in development, we are able to create schemes that are very attractive for other developers and maximise value for our partners.
What is wrong with working with a planning consultant?
There is nothing wrong per se, but most planning consultants don't have experience in actual development. On the build side, they often develop schemes that are expensive to build and off putting to developers. On the sale side, they don't know what kind of houses the market is looking for. We have done both and can make sure we maximise value. Plus we are risking our own money which makes us laser focussed on getting a good return.
