How Landhaven maximises planning uplift for landowners and investors while delivering planning gain that benefits local communities.
What Is Planning Gain?
In UK planning, planning gain traditionally refers to the benefits secured for the community when planning permission is granted. These might include:
- Section 106 agreements (such as affordable housing contributions or funding for local services).
- Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payments.
- Biodiversity or environmental improvements.
- Public amenities like parks, cycle routes, or healthcare facilities.
At the same time, the term is often used more loosely to describe the increase in land value that comes with planning permission. This is technically known as planning uplift.
At Landhaven, we embrace both meanings. We maximise planning uplift for landowners and investors while ensuring planning gain delivers genuine public benefit.
Why Planning Gain Matters
Maximising Land Value
Securing planning permission can transform the value of land or property, making it far more appealing to developers or buyers. For example, an underutilised field can multiply in value once permission is granted for residential development – this is the uplift we unlock for landowners.Lower Risk for Developers & Investors
From a development perspective, navigating the planning process upfront reduces speculative risk. By securing permission before significant capital is invested, we ensure sites are primed for development and investor confidence is high.Community Transformation
Despite the negative stereotype, good developers (like us!) want their projects to benefit the community as well as themselves. Why wouldn’t you? That’s why our schemes always include planning gain in the true sense – whether through CIL payments, affordable housing, or environmental improvements – while also maximising planning uplift for our investors. Done right, everyone wins.Planning Gain: A Key Pillar of Landhaven’s Strategy
