RECTORY HOMESL A N D A N D P L A N N I N G
The current Government and opposition parties are all clearly
supportive of releasing more land for quality housing in the right
locations. It is accepted by nearly all that many more houses
need to be built.
The Government is keen that housebuilders ease the development
process by convincing local people they will see excellent design
standards and lasting benefits to the community.
At Rectory Homes we are adamant our developments will always
respect the identity of the surroundings and add value to the
communities in which they are located. In addition we will leave
a legacy of fine homes that will in turn make the path of future
applications that much easier.
There are more and more people accepting of the need for new
houses but there can still be significant resistance in certain areas
both from residents and Local Authorities. We always hope to
persuade residents and Local Authorities of these benefits prior to
a planning application being considered at local level and indeed
we achieve some 90% of planning permissions without having to
resort to lengthy and arbitrary appeals. When our developments
are completed, we do effect more converts.
We are absolutely certain that if you entrust your land to us, not
only will we have maximised the value that will be returned to you,
you will also be proud of the resulting development.

ABOUT RECTORY HOMES
RECTORY HOMES IS A MEDIUM SIZED PRIVATELY OWNED HOUSEBUILDER BASED IN HADDENHAM, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN BUILDING HIGH QUALITY HOMES IN DESIRABLE LOCATIONS PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED BY SIMON VICKERS IN 1991.
Rectory concentrates on developing residential
sites in targeted key market areas throughout the
south east of England, where demand continues to
significantly outstrip supply.
The company’s reputation was founded on small
high quality developments with the aim to create
homes of architectural merit, which stand the test
of time.
The company remains dynamic and innovative and
has developed focus on larger developments, whilst
continuing to deliver high quality individual housing.
Whether a one bedroom apartment or a five
bedroom house, we pay the utmost attention to
detail in the design, layout and specification of our
homes to ensure we stay ahead of our competitors.
Rectory has built an industry leading reputation
on superior quality and design. The high level
of service is maintained from the initial land
acquisition, through the build process, with an
exceptional technical and build team, to the
sales process, with our dedicated sales and
aftercare teams.
WHY RECTORY HOMES
OUR BUSINESS IS BASED ON A PROACTIVE, INFORMED AND DECISIVE APPROACH FROM IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT LAND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH TO MAXIMISING THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF TARGETED DEVELOPMENT SITES. WE FOCUS ON APPROACHING THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES RATHER THAN A SCATTERGUN APPROACH ADOPTED BY MANY NON-LOCAL PROMOTION COMPANIES. OUR SUCCESS RATE IS OVER 90% AS OPPOSED TO MOST LAND PROMOTION COMPANIES WHO STRUGGLE TO DO BETTER THAN 50%. TO DATE IN EXCESS OF 90% OF THAT SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED AT LOCAL LEVEL WITHOUT THE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE LENGTHY PLANNING APPEAL PROCESS.
We are a well known local developer and we
understand how the Local Authorities operate in
our key markets. As a result we are trusted to plan
and deliver high quality developments. Our first
preference is to work with Local Authorities and key
stakeholders to gain their trust over an acceptable
period of time. However, where we think there is an
accelerated opportunity, we are more than happy
to adopt a more robust approach involving planning
applications and appeals where we employ high
level expert advice to ensure the greatest chance
of success.
Decisions often need to be made quickly where
there is an opportunity to deliver houses in the
short term and efficient planning applications are
required to ensure success. The senior management
team are actively involved in the daily running of
the company, streamlining decision making from
the outset.
Rectory is a housebuilder so we understand the
process of land buying through to construction and
sales. Knowledge of the entire process enables
identification of potential pitfalls which could cause
delays in planning and therefore delays completing
a land purchase. We strive for success with our first
application avoiding lengthy appeal processes
where possible.
WHAT WE DO
RECTORY SPECIALISES IN IDENTIFYING AND OPTIMISING THE DELIVERY OF LAND WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL.
Our aim is to promote your land and obtain
planning permission as efficiently as possible
at nil cost to you.
Our dynamic land and planning team maintain
comprehensive up to date knowledge of the
planning system and actively engage with the
Local Authorities in our key areas of operation.
We appoint trusted professional consultants
to work closely alongside our in house teams
to progress applications through the planning
system as quickly as possible and to actively
engage with key stakeholders within the
communities we operate in.
We ensure each development is designed to
exacting standards that will not only maximise your
chance of obtaining planning permission but also
maximise the value of your asset at minimal risk.
We are focused on building a legacy by creating
environments where people want to live and thrive
as a community. Each development is designed
individually by one of our respected local architects
and tailored to integrate and grow organically
within each community.
Our expertise is in all aspects of land including;
commercial property, brownfield sites, land
assembly, strategic land and greenbelt.
STRATEGIC LAND
IT CAN TAKE MANY YEARS AND SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TO PROMOTE LAND THROUGH A COUNCIL’S STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK.
We seek to enter into an agreement with you
tailored to the nature of your land. On agreeing
terms, we take on the risk and cost of promoting
your land in return for an agreed percentage share
in the land value created when planning permission
is achieved.
We recognise potential to deliver development
sites in the short term where there is a significant
window of opportunity due to a housing shortage
in a particular area. Often where local planning
authorities have identified a substantial need for
homes which is currently encouraged at both a
local and national level.
WE ARE A DEVELOPER SO UNLIKE PURE LAND PROMOTERS, WE HAVE A VERY KEEN EYE FOR END VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF HOUSING. OUR DEVELOPER’S INSIGHT RESULTS IN MAXIMISATION OF LAND VALUE.
Our goals are aligned and we have what it takes to ensure success.
THE TYPICAL PROCESS
RESOURCES
We have a land and planning team
capable of dealing with your land
in an efficient manner.
FINANCE
We have substantial funds of our
own and long standing relationships
with our existing banks. We are
here to take away the potentially
lengthy period of stress and the
financial burden of promoting
land for development.
SUCCESS
We can legitimately claim in excess
of a 90% success rate throughout
our 25 year history which will
be significantly better than the
scattergun approach of pure
land promoters and most
national developers.
VALUE
We have been building residential
developments for over 25 years and
understand how to maximise land
potential. It is in our joint interest
to create value with a developable
scheme that will maximise the
value of the land and maximise
the saleability of housing.
INFORMATION
We thoroughly research and monitor
the constantly evolving planning
system. You will have a clear point of
contact with someone from the land
team who will keep you informed
throughout key stages of the
process. A main board director
will oversee all applications.
CONFIDENCE
We have a fantastic track record of
delivering high quality developments.
Success is our only option, which you
can be assured our team will work
tirelessly to achieve. Our success rate
is well over 90%.
KNOWLEDGE
We are flexible. We are familiar with
all aspects of land acquisition and
always make an offer in a structure
most suitable to each opportunity.
Land is identified and initial contact is made by our
land team.
A member of our land team will then arrange a
meeting to discuss the options available to you.
An offer is made and if acceptable, heads of terms will
be drafted and our solicitors will work expediently to
complete the legal process.
Our land and planning team will appoint specialist
independent consultants and architects necessary
to produce a planning application.
An outline or detailed planning application is submitted
to the local planning authority. If planning is refused
then an appeal may be necessary. This will be
progressed with all due haste by our in house
planning team and appropriate experts.
Following grant of planning permission, we purchase
the land from you and commence development.
