Land specialist secures permission for 2,500-home development

Rachael Ainscough

Ainscough Strategic Land, the Leigh-based business that works with land owners to add value to their holdings through the planning system, has secured permission for 2,500 new homes in its latest planning success.

The business currently has 24 live projects across the country, including six in the North West. Sites range from 80 units up to 3,000 new homes.

Its latest success, granted by Swindon Borough Council, will allow for a major urban extension of the growing Wiltshire town.

Managing director, Rachael Ainscough, said: “There’s been plenty of midnight oil burnt on this permission and I’m delighted for the land owners and for all our professional colleagues and partners who have worked so hard to help retain our 95% planning success rate.

“Britain’s economic fundamentals remain strong and we need to provide housing for a growing population and to help kick-start our economy as it emerges from lockdown.

“We remain on the look out for further opportunities across the UK.”

The latest permission is subject to the standard six week ‘hold off’ period for Judicial Review purposes and the land will be marketed for sale thereafter.

Ainscough has a further nine new land promotion deals currently in solicitors’ hands, with the potential to deliver a further six thousand new homes.

Planning consultant Turley acted for ASL on the application.
