Experts in land, planning and development, Millbank Land, Homes + Partnerships are committed to creating the best and most sustainable development opportunities for both land owners and local communities, along with the SME developers and housebuilders that we train and partner with through Millbank Land Academy.Me? …I’m a Chartered Planning & Development Surveyor, land specialist & developer with 40 years’ hard-earned experience in construction and housebuilding (including a very severe kicking from RBS in 2008 that nearly wiped me out!).I'm also a founding investor and director of the industry-leading #PropTech Co, Land Insight - #LandTech. Throughout my career I've purchased, gained planning for and built over 7,000 homes and 2,500,000 sq/ft of commercial space. Over 20 years ago I formed what is now a multi-million pound property development company, Millbank Group, and for 10 years prior to that I held senior positions with Plc housebuilders. In 2013 Millbank Homes won The Evening Standard New Homes Awards.In 2021 Millbank Land Academy were runners-up in The Housebuilder Awards for 'Best Training Initiative'.Because every successful development begins with Land (preferably Brownfield or Previously Developed Land - PDL), although we also promote sites with longer term potential, we’ve made it our business to become the go-to experts in this area - …Finding the right opportunities, structuring the best deals, adding value through excellent design and negotiating the very best planning permissions as quickly as possible. ...not easy! :oWe're particularly focused on #MMC #biophilicdesign and #buildingwithnature.So, we understand the system inside-out and know how to make the most of things - often partnering with land owners, other professionals, agents, deal sourcers and not-for-profit organisations, using our knowledge and experience to help make good things happen.As well as continuing to develop award-winning properties ourselves, we aim to make a real difference to the supply of good, well-designed housing, commercial and community places in the UK, by supporting others in realising their ambitions as successful entrepreneurs, community builders, investors and ethical property developers.For 2024 and onwards we'll continue to train and educate people in the skills required to successfully identify, negotiate and secure off-market deals, optimise design and maximise social value and purposeful profits. **Watch this space as in September 2024 I’ll be launching what should be another game-changing PropTech Start-up**
