We are pleased to announce that Andrew Wilkinson has joined Brookbanks’ Land, Development & Communities Group as a Director. With over 25 years of development consultancy experience, Andrew is a seasoned Engineer with a diverse background spanning sectors such as mixed-use, residential, education, healthcare, retail, and commercial.

In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the critical role of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) developers in meeting the UK Government’s ambitious target of delivering 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament term.
Section 106 (S106) agreements play a vital role in shaping sustainable communities by ensuring that developments contribute to essential infrastructure and services. However, recent research highlights a growing challenge: billions of pounds in developer contributions remain unspent by local authorities. At Brookbanks, we believe understanding the purpose of these agreements, and how to recover unspent funds, is critical for developers and stakeholders alike.
At Brookbanks, we know that time and budget are often the defining factors in any project. That’s why we focus on delivering timely, value-driven outcomes through smarter design strategies.
