Illustrative scenario 01Land with planning consent
A buyer wants short-term funding for a site. The consent, value and proposed exit need assessment.
Useful information for the conversation
- Title and site plan
- Planning documents and conditions
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 02A planning decision is pending
A buyer wants to proceed before certainty on use. That uncertainty must be central to the funding discussion.
Useful information for the conversation
- Planning documents and conditions
- Access and utilities information
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 03A site with access questions
A plot has practical or legal constraints. Title, services and access need professional investigation.
Useful information for the conversation
- Access and utilities information
- Exit timetable and funds available
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 04Evidence focus: Planning potential is different from consent
A short-term finance borrower wants to discuss land bridging. Two points need attention: title and site plan; planning documents and conditions. Land with implemented consent can be assessed differently from speculative land. The evidence and the decision need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

Illustrative scenario 05Decision point: Access and utilities information
A short-term finance borrower has started a conversation about land bridging, but the brief has changed. The review revisits two points: access and utilities information; exit timetable and funds available. The next step is agreed using the updated facts, with any unresolved questions recorded.

The wider assessment
Planning potential is different from consent
Land with implemented consent can be assessed differently from speculative land. Title restrictions, services, access and the time needed to reach development funding or a sale all matter. We separate today's security value from a proposed future scheme.
Planning consent, development funding and future value are not guaranteed. A land loan can be difficult to refinance if the plan changes.
