Rural

Development opportunities in rural areas can give rise to a notable financial uplift for clients if an appropriate strategy is pursued. This regularly involves a staged approach to projects, demonstrating benefits and placating local concerns over development impact.

ELG is involved in a breadth of projects from small scale infill developments, building conversions and farmstead redevelopments including modern building conversions along with supplementary proposals to enhance schemes to reflect market demand. Our involvement also encompasses development projects to enable small rural businesses to grow, existing businesses to expand in situ, leisure schemes (accommodation and attractions) as well as renewable energy proposals.

Landed Estates

ELG has a broad client based encompassing those responsible for the some of the most iconic landmark rural properties and landscapes across the north or England.

We provide project specific and strategic planning advice to major rural land owners which can range from assisting with agricultural proposals, farmstead redevelopments, ad hoc building conversions to ensure a diverse and income generating property portfolio to large scale residential/employment land promotion and heritage based schemes where there is a core historic property associated with the Estate. Advice can be provided for land based proposals for renewable energy proposals, mineral site after use, water extraction and bottling and leisure based schemes where an Estates inherent physical assets may be appropriately capitalized upon.
