Above all, it's about people

land

Wates Developments is actively looking for greenfield and brownfield land in Southern England to invest in and work with landowners to gaining planning consent

In a market that has been constrained by the need for third party funding, Wates Developments has continued to invest with the financial backing of the Wates Group.

We offer landowners a wide range of sale options, according to their needs.

We are experts in successfully gaining planning consent on even the most complex, constrained or contentious sites.

We actively engage with planning bodies, the political arena and environmental and community groups to develop planning solutions that benefit the wider community.

We partner with some of the best housebuilders in the country to take sites through to developments, investing with them to create homes that people want to live in, and communities that prosper.
