What We Do
Huntstowe Land uses its expertise to deliver planning consent for landowners. The cost and technical expertise required to bring land forward to achieve planning consent is very significant and many landowners choose to work with a promoter. Until planning consent is achieved, all the substantial planning costs are ‘at risk’ and this risk is often too substantial for a landowner to bear.
