Our History

Gladman Developments is an innovative business that has enjoyed significant and prolific success in a range of property sectors. With over 25 years’ experience in obtaining planning permissions, we are the UK’s most active and successful land promoter. In 2022 we joined Barratt Developments PLC Group giving us greater flexibility in our approach and enhancing financial security.

Our Team

Our in-house team are the cornerstone of our success and are experts in their own field. Our dedicated team have years of professional experience and a wide range of industry contacts, from central government, local councils, professional consultants to major housebuilders.

Our Passion

We are passionate about winning and invest significant expenditure on robust evidence, research, specialist studies and investigations. We have comprehensive regional knowledge and do what we say with an open and hands-on approach.

Our Ethos

We believe in creating truly sustainable developments, supporting the ongoing regeneration of our villages, towns and cities and creating places that are built closer to where people want to live and to work.

Our Commitment

We engage with communities throughout the process and foster high quality developments: not just the buildings, but the gardens, parks and other green spaces, as well as the facilities which are essential for building a real sense of community.

Our Partners

We work with a variety of landowners, with differing needs and requirements, including private landowners, local authorities, charities, trusts, diocesan boards and universities, so whatever your situation, we can work with you to unlock the potential of your land.
