For Planning Consultants
Planning Consultants — Introducer Partner
You've secured the planning permission. Your client is ready to build. But without the right development finance, that permission is just a piece of paper. Introduce us and we'll turn your planning success into a funded, buildable project.
Planning consultants take a site from concept through to consent — and then, very often, watch it pause. A planning permission is an asset, but it does nothing until the developer has the finance to build. The gap between consent and construction is where schemes stall, lapse, or get sold on at a discount.
Introducing the client to a specialist development finance broker at the point of consent closes that gap. We assess the consented scheme, produce the development appraisal and cashflow, and structure the senior debt, mezzanine and equity needed to start on site — turning the permission you secured into a built-out project. We have no role in the planning process, so your instruction and fee are never affected.
Why Partner With Us
Benefits for Planning Consultants
Complete the Journey
Planning permission without funding is worthless. By introducing us, you help your client complete the journey from permission to construction.
Earn Introduction Fees
A meaningful fee on every completed deal. The larger the scheme you've secured planning for, the larger the facility we arrange.
Pre-Planning Appraisals
Introduce us before your client commits to a planning application and we can appraise viability — ensuring the scheme they apply for is also fundable.
Scheme Optimisation
We can advise on unit mix, affordable housing strategy, and Section 106 structuring from a funding perspective — helping your client maximise both planning success and financial viability.
Stronger Applications
A client with funding in principle is a more credible applicant. Demonstrating financial viability strengthens the planning case.
Repeat Clients
Clients who get funded successfully come back for more projects — and more planning applications for you to handle.
When to Introduce
Common scenarios
If your client is in any of these situations, an introduction to us could be valuable for both of you.
Permission Granted
Your client has just received planning permission and needs development finance to proceed.
Pre-Application Stage
Your client is considering a site and wants to know if the scheme is financially viable before investing in a planning application.
Section 106 Negotiation
The S106 obligations affect viability. We can model the financial impact of different S106 scenarios.
Appeal Success
Permission granted on appeal — your client needs to move quickly before the permission lapses.
FAQ
Planning Consultants — common questions
Our client has consent but the scheme has stalled — is it too late?
No. A consented but unfunded scheme is one of the most common situations we fund. We assess the appraisal, confirm it is viable, and source the structure to get it moving — provided the consent has not lapsed or is close enough to implement in time.
Does the type of planning permission affect funding?
Yes. Full detailed consent is the most straightforward to fund. Outline consent or permitted development can still be financed, but the lender pool and terms differ — we match the scheme to lenders comfortable with its specific planning status.
How does an introduction work for us?
It is a simple referral — the client's details and a short scheme summary. We handle the funding, keep you informed, and pay an introduction fee on completion. Your planning instruction and fee are entirely unaffected.
