Residential Planning

Driven by the continuing demand for more housing, the UK residential market is currently navigating a complex phase characterised by fluctuating mortgage rates, regional price variations, and changing legislation and Regulations. In this evolving environment, expert planning guidance is crucial.  

Montagu Evans possesses extensive experience in delivering complex residential-led development across the UK. Over the last three years, we have successfully secured planning permission for over  70,000 residential units, demonstrating our proven track record in navigating the planning system.   We believe the new political agenda, including the NPPF and subsequent PPG updates present both opportunities and constraints for residential development in England that we are well placed to advise our clients on.  

Regardless of your access point to residential markets, our Residential:Connected experts look beyond the obvious to unlock opportunities, providing bespoke advice to help you achieve your objectives.
