agencies
Abbey Manor Group and its associate companies have varied experience
of working with English Partnerships and Regional Development Agencies
to develop innovative solutions for the provision of development land
and buildings in situations and forms that would otherwise be economically
unviable.

Local
Authorities
The
Group has also worked in partnership with a number of Local Authorities
in their economic development role, to bring forward identified land for
development. One such scheme, illustrated here, involves the reclamation
of 6 acres of land from Plymouth Harbour and necessitated the simultaneous
involvement of 10 statutory agencies.

Another example of this work is the development in 50/50 commercial joint
venture of a former army camp with South Somerset District Council. This
very successful development has addressed an acute shortage of employment
land whilst offering a comprehensive range of options for potential occupiers
from self-build on serviced plots to full turnkey developments.

Private
Developers
The Group is able to bring a range of strengths to other private developers
in the form of Planning Expertise, Construction Finance, Development Land
or simply the sharing of development risk. We welcome the opportunity
to work with other developers, and always find such ventures to be mutually
rewarding, both financially and in broadening our expertise.

Private
Business
Property matters are often peripheral to busy managers and opportunities
for profit can easily be overlooked. Abbey Manor Group can advise on and
implement business relocation and rationalisation solutions that can unlock
significant value to businesses. Our extensive landbank and financial
resources enable us to seek out these opportunities actively.
