We benefit from a strong contact base within local authorities and a wide range of expert consultants.

Legal contract negotiations and title investigations can be a complicated process. Bringing a commercial understanding to legal negotiations and choosing the right solicitor is key to a successful outcome for all.

We can also assist with Section 106 and SANG/SAMM agreements.

Any sites that are located within a certain proximity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (protected ground nesting bird sites) are required to provide alternative open space for new residents to prevent impact on these sensitive locations. This requirement is known as Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG). If your project is affected by the requirement for SANG then Chiltern Land can assist in either sourcing land for this purpose or advising on alternative means of mitigation.
