Holt Property was instructed by the landowner of an extensive holding in north Coventry and identified Wilsons Lane as a strong edge-of-city development opportunity.
Focusing on an approximately 3 acre parcel fronting Wilsons Lane, we recognised its potential for residential use between the existing urban area and the M6. Acting for the landowner, Holt Property promoted the land through the planning process, agreed an option agreement with Gallagher Estates and helped deliver a successful residential scheme by Bellway Homes.
Background
Instructed by the landowner of a wider land holding in north Coventry to advise on strategy and development potential.
Identified the Wilsons Lane frontage, of approximately 3 acres, as a strong residential opportunity due to its prominent road frontage and established residential context.
Submitted the site as a potential residential allocation through Coventry City Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment process.
Option agreement negotiated with Gallagher Estates to bring the site forward for residential development.
Worked closely with Gallagher Estates and Coventry City Council to secure planning permission for a 48 home residential scheme.
Advised the landowner through the disposal process, resulting in an agreed sale of the consented site to Bellway Homes.
The site is now fully built out as a Bellway Homes development, providing 48 new homes in north Coventry.
Results
Planning permission secured for a 48 home residential scheme on a well located edge-of-Coventry site identified and promoted by Holt Property.
Successful sale of the land to Bellway Homes, delivering a strong commercial outcome for the landowner.
Creation of a completed residential development that integrates well with the existing community along Wilsons Lane.
Showcases how focused, strategic advice on a wider land holding can unlock development value on well located parcels.
The landowners were delighted with the outcome, reflecting a well managed and collaborative process that maximised the value of their land.
We have an excellent reputation with our clients, understanding their needs and building strong relationships resulting in successful outcomes.
