Considering diversifying your landed assets?

Let our experts devise a strategy to reduce risk while maximising potential from your land.

Why work with Greenfinch?

We collaborate with landowners to create diversification and development strategies which are deliverable, ambitious and make the most of their assets. Our team of planners, architects and project managers can assist with opportunity identification and whole site reviews or if you already have a specific project in mind can offer a holistic delivery partner to turn your plan into reality.

What’s the process?

While each project is unique, the majority of projects follow the steps set out, starting with the site review, where we will inform you of the steps required and the likely timeframe. If you are interested in starting your farm diversification project, download our Farm Diversification & Estate Guide. This outlines the process in more detail and the likely costs.

  • This service is tailored for landowners, such as those with farms and estates, who seek to diversify their income by launching a high-end holiday letting business.

    Our team will review your land to identify potential sites with the best chance of gaining planning approval. We will answer all your questions regarding setup, return on investment, construction challenges, and likely planning outcomes.

    Additionally, our architects will provide an initial site design for your review.

  • The planning and design stage will be based on the findings from the site review and feasibility study. It’s highly likely that we will recommend a pre-app enquiry to de-risk your application, followed by a full planning application. Everything will be included to ensure your application is determined swiftly.

  • In most instances, your new holiday units will not require a building warrant application as they are built to park-home regulations. However, the drainage and package treatment plant requires a building warrant application.

     We can assist you in submitting this, working alongside you and your preferred drainage/groundworks crew to get your application approved.

  • It is essential that you have all of your required planning permission and building warrant applications in place before you start work. You will need to arrange for a groundwork company to install the foundations and utility connections for your units. This can be provided by the unit manufacturer or a third party. Our team can advise you through this process if needed.

    At this point, we will leave you in the capable hands of your unit manufacturer to organise site delivery and installation.

  • “Greenfinch helped us add two modular units to our farm for holiday accommodation. We'd heard planning permission can be a nightmare, but Greenfinch made it completely stress-free. I can't praise the team's expertise enough. They made a potentially difficult process very smooth.”
