Valuation and law- Identify a real site in England and Wales

You should identify a real site in England and Wales (Scotland has a different legal system which makes the development process more complicated) (and preferably in London),

Identified by address, of a minimum land area (not the sum of the floor areas of an existing building on the site) of 1 acre (43,560 square feet) for which, acting as a property development company, you will put forward proposals to acquire and develop.

The site will not be one which you (or to your knowledge anyone else in the class) have used in connection with any other module: if it is, then your work will not be accepted. It is preferable if no-one else in the class is also using your site but if the same site is found to be used by two or more students, so long as they present different development proposals the work will be accepted.

Your site does not have to be currently on the market for sale and can contain existing buildings which you can assume will be cleared away. The site should be capable of being developed, if it is not already developed, so should not, for instance, comprise part of a green belt or a garden square. The site must front directly onto a road which is publicly maintained and so should not rely upon access rights over any third party land.

Having identified your proposed site, you should investigate the broad planning position and develop a strategy for developing the site. Your development should contain at least three planning user classes, which are to be submitted, with the site address, to the module leader by email, before 23rd February 2021 for approval. No proposed planning use at your site should occupy less than 12% of the net floor area of the whole development. You should draw up a rough plan of the proposed development with an indication of the intended number of floors, showing how it relates to its surroundings.
