Land wanted
What ARM Developments looks for
Every opportunity is assessed on its own facts. These criteria help landowners decide whether an enquiry may be worthwhile.
Usable land
Size matters, but there is no single minimum. Shape, access, planning context and the relationship with neighbouring property can be more important than a headline measurement.
Location
Land within or closely related to an existing settlement is usually the clearest starting point for small residential opportunities.
Access
Safe pedestrian, vehicle, service and emergency access must be capable of being considered.
Relationship to neighbours
Distance, outlook, privacy, daylight and noise can affect both design and planning prospects.
Physical constraints
Trees, levels, drainage, utilities, ecology, contamination and flood risk may influence capacity and cost.
Planning context
Local policy, settlement boundaries, heritage, previous decisions and housing character help shape the review.
Do not rule the site out yourself
If the land looks broadly suitable but you are uncertain, send the location. The initial review is designed to answer that question.
