Welcome to Marcel Venn Associates – A Highly Specialist Property Consultancy advising on Strategic Land Promotion in the South West, with offices in Bristol and Devon.

We are unique in our approach, in that we offer various routes to support getting your land allocated or achieve planning permission. Having a planning & development surveyor who knows the ‘patch’ and the politics in-depth is a very sensible choice when engaging professional support.

Route 1 – Consultancy – we are happy to be your specialist advisor to get your land allocated for you and run the project for you.

Route 2 – Partnership – we would be delighted to form a partnership with you, promoting the land together. The partnership route allows you to put in the land and MVA to use its decades of expertise to promote and secure your land for future development. MVA can wholly fund the process or if you wish, this route can be jointly funded.

Route 3 – MVA as Promoter – you may wish to entrust MVA to take full control, based on our enormous success in getting sites allocated and through planning, often unallocated. This route means MVA fully funds the whole process with no financial risk whatsoever to the landowner.

Whilst our primary focus is land promotion, we do offer other services relating to land promotion, planning and development.

Our extensive knowledge of land across the South West, combined with our in-depth understanding of all the local authority plans & policies, allows us to identify where future development is legally required to be allocated for future development. We monitor all the active developers and housebuilders to understand their current appetite for land, putting us at the forefront to advise land owners on selling their land for future development at the appropriate time.

Our pedigree is well established in this industry, of getting sites allocated for future development, as well as getting unallocated sites planning consent for development. A key facet behind this is also to ensure best value is extracted from future development land.

MVA has a unique background in design, planning, valuation and development viability – these skills come together to provide you with the ultimate skillset to promote your land.
