Planning & Development

Planning & development decisions can have a significant impact on the value, use and long-term planning potential of rural land and property.

Liddle & Co advises farmers, landowners, rural businesses and investors on planning practical matters, helping clients identify opportunities, manage constraints and make informed decisions about their assets.

Our approach is practical, professional and focused on unlocking value from rural property.

We can support with a wide range of rural planning and development projects, from farm buildings, diversification schemes and changes of use to residential and leisure opportunities, development land, agricultural occupancy conditions and strategic land promotion. Our advice is grounded in a clear understanding of rural businesses, local property markets and the importance of balancing commercial potential with long-term asset appraisal.

We also undertake negotiation of Option Agreements and Conditional Contracts with housing developers and renewable energy developers.

For over 25 years, our team has worked with clients from the earliest stages of an idea, helping to assess viability, prepare supporting information and liaise with other professional advisers where required. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible, providing clear advice that helps clients understand their options and move forward with confidence.
