1) Review land opportunities to form a high level “go, non-go” view on whether to progress.

2) Negotiate land deals direct with land owners.

3) Structuring acquisitions (options, promotion agreements, conditional and unconditional structures)

4) Have a good understanding of the planning systems/Local Plans.

5) Be aware of the current complexities that planning presents and be able to lead a team of external consultants to promote a site, and run planning applications.

6) Structure and deal with potential exits for the site, to include residential, care, commercial and other uses.
