Strategic Land
We specialise in identifying, acquiring and managing strategic land opportunities across the UK. Our model is flexible: we acquire land outright, enter promotion agreements, or structure deals with overage provisions to ensure upside is shared when planning consent is achieved. With over 3,000 residential units promoted through the planning process, our team brings an in-depth knowledge of the UK planning landscape and a proven ability to navigate complex regulatory environments.

Located in a picturesque village just 7 miles from the historic Cathedral City of Ely and 15 minutes from Cambridge city centre, this site offered strong potential for a well-designed residential scheme in a highly sought-after location.
The land comprised two separately owned plots. Habital led the successful land assembly, negotiating terms between both landowners to bring the site forward as a unified development. We then managed the full planning process, including the complex requirement of delivering measurable biodiversity net gain on-site.
Planning consent was granted for 23 family homes (a mix of 3- and 4-bedroom units) and 1 one-bedroom bungalow, responding to local housing needs and policy requirements.
