Breaking down the planning stage of property development is Jonathan and Kieron's main focus for this step. They discuss the importance of understanding planning applications, the role of planning consultants, and how local policies and Section 106 agreements can impact projects. They also share insights on managing planning risks, building a strong team, and whether to buy land with or without planning permission, offering practical advice for navigating the complexities of the planning process in property development. KEY TAKEAWAYS Although planning is listed as step five in the Property Developers program, Jonathan and Kieran emphasise that planning considerations are a continuous process, not just a step. Navigating national and local planning policies, understanding council-specific requirements, and managing complex applications are best handled by professionals who “geek out” on planning and have established relationships with local authorities. The episode breaks down the main types of planning applications developers encounter: pre-application (pre-app), outline, and full planning. Securing planning permission is a calculated risk involving time, money, and resources. However, successful planning can dramatically increase a site’s value and provide multiple exit strategies, such as selling with planning or building out. Once planning is granted, developers must carefully discharge all conditions—especially pre-commencement ones—before starting work. Failing to do so can result in costly legal action against both companies and directors. BEST MOMENTS "Hoping to get planning—yes, I say hoping—it’s a calculated risk. You would have done a lot of work and had discussions with planning consultants up until this stage, so you’d get a level of comfort as to what you expect to get from a planning point of view. But there is a risk because you’re investing time, money, and resources into professionals, planning consultants, and other consultants like architects, on the presumption—the calculated risk—that you’re going to get planning for the development you ultimately want." "So personally, I’m actually more attracted to land with planning. The reason being is it’s already almost been screened; it’s also been given permission for something." "We actually—myself and an architect—went to view a piece of land, and we thought, "Oh, it’s great." Then we did some research on it, and it had over something like 50 applications in quite a short space of time. There’s a reason why there have been so many. Someone doesn’t like something about it; you’re probably not going to get what you want." HOST BIOS Jonathan is a property developer and entrepreneur with a background in finance and construction.
