Today we've been "hanging out" at Taylors Farm Shop for National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs lancashire county rally!

Our HANG TOUGH was a big hit and Alec from Longridge YFC was the winner of the £50 amazon voucher with a time of 3minutes and 3 seconds!

HOWEVER, after we had given the prize out and were packing up the van, we had a young visitor from Bilsborrow YFC who beat him by 3 seconds! We couldn't let him go empty handed so have decided to give him an EXTRA £20 voucher for his last minute effort!

Thanks to Kerry, Mike and Rachel for manning the stand and putting their own respectable times in!

Thinking your land may have development potential, but don’t want the cost, stress or risk of pursuing planning yourself?

Let us take the stress and cost for you!

We can act under Promotion Agreements to help unlock the value of your land with potential for development.

In simple terms, that means:

• We assess the planning potential
• We promote the site through the planning system
• We deal with consultants, strategy and negotiations
• We take on much of the upfront risk and work involved
• Once planning is achieved, the land is marketed openly to maximise value

This can often be an attractive option for landowners who:

• Believe their land may one day obtain planning permission
• Have been approached by developers but are unsure what to do
• Do not want to fund speculative planning costs themselves
• Want somebody experienced to manage the process properly

Whether it is farmland, paddocks, edge of settlement land, commercial sites or redundant buildings, it may be worth a conversation.

Some sites that appear unlikely at first glance can, with the right strategy, become extremely valuable.

If you own land and would like an honest opinion on its potential, get in touch with the team
