Meet Our Land, Development and Communities Group
At Brookbanks, our Land Development and Communities team is where most projects begin. We take a concept, often just an idea and guide it through planning and initial technical approvals, ensuring it’s viable, sustainable, and ready for development.
A Unified Team
What sets us apart is our integrated approach. Rather than clients having to coordinate multiple consultants, we bring everything together under one roof. This unified structure eliminates disconnects, reduces delays, and ensures that priorities are aligned from day one. It’s a joined-up approach that saves time and adds value.
Consistent Leadership, Ongoing Involvement
Unlike many consultants, we don’t just deliver a report and move on. The directors you meet at the outset remain involved throughout the project. We don’t disappear or delegate everything to junior staff. When you need answers, you get them from someone who knows your project inside and out.
Solving Challenges, Adding Value
Every site presents its own challenges—be it flood risk, access infrastructure, or sustainability requirements. Our role is to make development possible by finding practical, bespoke solutions. We understand that delays cost money, so we focus on delivering clear, direct advice that helps clients make informed decisions without unnecessary complexity.

Real Results: Court Lodge, Ashford
A prime example of our approach is the Court Lodge project in Ashford. The local council proposed the Southeast Ashford Bypass as a requirement for the scheme. However, through detailed highway trip analysis and environmental engineering, we demonstrated that the bypass was not only unnecessary but potentially harmful to local wildlife.
This rigorous, evidence-based approach saved our client over £15 million in infrastructure costs.
Moving Projects Forward
This is what we do at Brookbanks. We take complex sites, find solutions, add value, and move projects forward.
That’s the Brookbanks difference.
