#021 Outriggers, CIL, Site Update & Ian's Rant

Property on Fire

WELCOME BACK to Property on Fire. Ian's had an extended break, but due to popular demand, the show is back for good!

On this episode, you'll get an update on the Leading Homes developments...and there's great news in South Devon; where the flats are selling like hotcakes! There are only 2 flats remaining from the 22 that were for sale. As you're promised "warts an' all" here, you'll hear all about rising development costs in North Devon, and a future chat with the bank that's in store.

Ian's Rant is back - This time Ian's sights are set on British Gas! You'll hear about the issues, which have been so bad the CEO is now involved! Listen out on future episodes for an update.

As always, Ian's had many questions land on his desk. This week on Property on Fire, he answers one for Ryan about extensions on his property, and another for Lucy which involves CIL.

Here's the Planning Geek page that Ian points us to during the episode: https://www.planninggeek.co.uk/planning/cil/

A regular podcast from your host Ian Walmsley. Join him every week for a dynamic podcast with Ian and his guests on how to seize the opportunities out there before others do!

You will learn about planning from a developer’s eye, you will benefit and learn together from the mistakes that Ian makes. He is very grateful for the opportunities that he has had and would love to share these with you.

ABOUT THE HOST

Ian Walmsley is a third-generation experienced developer who loves Planning. Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia’ by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop.

In 2017 he set up the site ‘Planning Geek‘ as a way to inform others as to the possibilities of using permitted development rights on both domestic and commercial property. This has now grown to cover many other aspects of planning, giving plenty of ‘wow’ moments. To the best of our knowledge, It is now the largest planning website in the UK, apart from the national planning portal.

He now speaks around the UK at both property meets and with mentorship groups as a developer/planning geek.

As a developer with his company, Leading Homes, he has 40 dwellings under construction with a further 50 plus in legals or pre-construction.

The one thing he is not is a Planning Consultant – he is a Planning Geek – although a chartered town planner said ‘Ian knows more about planning than most planners!’. He is simply ‘A developer who loves planning’. As a result he has nothing to sell from his talks, which is always a refreshing change!
