Our skilled land team identifies land with development potential using ordinance survey mapping, land registry details, and aerial photography. If you received a letter from us, it means we believe your land has development potential.
We use a combination of planning expertise, mapping software, and market research to offer the most competitive price for your land. Our goal is to maximise the value of your land while ensuring it meets planning permission requirements.
The planning process duration varies based on several factors. Typically, a decision is made within 8 weeks for minor applications (1-9 units) and 12 weeks for major applications (10+ units). Planning appeals take longer. The process can be unpredictable, depending on the council and the development's complexity. Our team collaborates with consultants and councils to meet planning requirements efficiently.

These systems help protect and sustain natural ecosystems.

A topographical survey is an accurate depiction of a site (property, area of land, defined boundary) which is scaled and detailed to show all the natural and manmade features and their levels. Millen uses these surveys to help plan out the layout for a proposed development. The survey helps us plan for retention of trees, safe access into the highway and ensuring each Millen property can make the most of solar gains.
