Gladman have been working on a development for us of around 110 houses, on land which is owned by several family members. From the start of the Promotion Agreement and during the planning process, their approach has been highly professional, keeping us informed throughout all the planning stages. Their attention to detail in terms of gaining local knowledge in the area and using this to best advantage has been impressive and instrumental to good communication with the local planning officers throughout.

I would not hesitate in recommending the Gladman Team to any landowner considering their options with respect to unlocking the potential in their land asset and indeed, I have already done so on several occasions. Their collected professional approach inspired us with confidence and clarity throughout a complex and sometimes testing process. We were kept informed all the way through from the beginning to the successful conclusion.

Having had contracts with other developers, we were keen to understand how Gladman’s approach differentiated from others. Their knowledge and experience was immediately apparent and their understanding and awareness of the planning context was both impressive and assuring. It was also clear that Gladman’s proposed terms for a Promotion Agreement gave us the highest chance of realising best value for the land over a relatively short period. We have absolutely no regrets about entering into a contract with Gladman. From the point they first submitted for planning, it took Gladman only 18 months to secure planning permission, after they successfully appealed to the Scottish Government. Gladman acted professionally and kept us well informed throughout the whole process and we would wholeheartedly endorse Gladman as expert land promoters."

I have agreed a number of Promotion Agreements with Gladman on sites in the Midlands. I have found them at all times to be straightforward and very quick to react. They put forward sensible commercial terms which are easily understood by our clients and we are able to turn round their proposals both quickly and efficiently. Many clients are impressed by the way that they began to expend their time and efforts on promoting the sites before the agreements have been signed up, with a view to expediting an application. We hope that the sites which Gladman are promoting for our clients will see the continued success that they have had across the country.

Once a Promotion Agreement had been agreed and was in place, Gladman got down to the job of obtaining planning permission for our land with a professional, informed and dogged determination that proved successful. The Gladman Team’s understanding of national, regional and local planning matters and the strategic land market were key to achieving the goal of maximising the value received by the family.

Strutt & Parker were instructed to help our clients chose an appropriate partner to promote their land holding resulting in our completing a relatively straight forward Promotion Agreement with Gladman Scotland. Throughout the process Gladman demonstrated a high degree of professionalism in their approach to achieving an allocation in the emerging Local Development Plan and securing a Planning Permission in Principle at Appeal. We held regular update meetings with Gladman to agree mutually agreeable planning strategies and we were impressed with the attention to detail and commitment shown by Gladman which resulted in a very successful conclusion.

As landowners we have been working with Gladman to promote a site in Mid-Cheshire. We have found them to be proactive and responsive to the ever-changing needs of promoting such a site and they have assembled a good team of professionals both from within the organisation and externally, to provide the necessary highly skilled technical resources that are essential in the current planning climate. I have no hesitation in recommending them on any project or land promotion.

In my dealings with Gladman, I have found them to be very organised, professional, focused, honest and quick to act. Their approach paid dividends on my client’s landholding and this success was largely due to the quality and comprehensive nature of their planning submission, with the end result of the land being sold unconditionally within 6 months of receipt of planning to a Plc housebuilder for a sum which exceeded expectations. I act for numerous clients with strategic land holdings and based on my experience, I now ensure Gladman are always considered for such promotional opportunities.

Gladman Scotland approached us regarding our land holding and we were impressed with their track record in obtaining residential planning consents elsewhere and their enthusiasm. We entered into a Promotion Agreement which outlined Gladman’s responsibilities and obligations for promoting our land and submitting an early planning application and we have always been made aware of progress. The whole process from appointing Gladman up until the appeal decision took less than 18 months which is testament to their hard work, expertise and commitment to achieving a very successful result. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gladman Scotland to other landowners seeking to have their land promoted in a professional and very thorough manner.

We have worked with Gladman on a number of land opportunities across the country and have at all times found them professional, straightforward and pro-active towards the promotion of strategic land. From our experience to date, Gladman have progressed the legal and planning process expeditiously and are not afraid of throwing the required resource at the right opportunity. We would not have any reservation about recommending Gladman Developments for the promotion of a site that has development potential.

We have been very impressed by the whole team at Gladman. They have been extremely professional and have worked tirelessly to gain a consent on our site. I would have no problem in recommending them to other landowners; they are a straight talking, hardworking company who get results.

Having worked on a range of projects with Gladman, Johnson Mowat has been impressed with the commitment shown to delivering best value from each planning submission. This committed approach is retained from inception through to the completion of all projects by friendly and approachable Project Managers. Individual Project Managers work closely with appointed consultants and are always willing to consider expert views in order to successfully deliver projects. Although Gladman aspire to achieve planning permission at the earliest opportunity as a company, project timetables have always been realistic with allowances made for the additional timescales associated with public inquiry work.
