Town Planning

GlenEtive projects (GEp) have over 20 years of experience in the town planning and development sectors.

From one-off houses to large-scale projects, GEp CEO, Paul Hughes has worked at the Director level with Keepmoat, Taylor Wimpey and McCarthy Stone, overseeing all levels of project.

With the change in legislation, Short-Term Lets (Air BnB) now require a license and, in key areas in Scotland, planning permission aswell. We can handle the complete process and manage the required contractors for any works.

We assist landowners and vendors to maximise their land’s potential, looking at the regeneration of a town from a completely different perspective.

We cast a fresh gaze over new housing projects in the countryside or greenbelt.

We harness the beauty of existing architecture and listed buildings with a modern take on regeneration.

We harness the need for Affordable Housing and blend it seamlessly.

We run with Section 75 and planning obligation negotiations.

And all of this with a solid eye on the environmental impact of these works, incorporating renewable energy and sustainable practices in everything we do.

The practice was set up to assist landowners and vendors with our main focus is working with SME business and individual clients.

Land Agency +

Development Consultancy

We have been buying land for developers for over 20 years.

And in that time we have gained knowledge of all the hardships, the hidden caveats and the ways to deal with them in a forward-thinking, hassle-free manner.

GEp, not only brokers land purchases for developers, but we work on both sides of the coin, able to help landowners and clients who are selling their land for development. We want to ensure everyone wins, that a fair deal is struck and the contracts are to everyone’s tastes.

We know construction costs inside-out and are able to quickly and accurately price up developments to allow clients to tailor their expectations to deliver the perfect results for them.

We also have a solid foundation in commercial development, so we can adapt our client’s perceptions, getting them to see potential that they may previously not have seen.

And all of this, with a client-first, friendly, personal service that you just can’t get from a large-scale operation.

Regeneration is one of the key specialisms of the consultancy.

Take something that has seen better days, and create something beautiful from it.

See your regeneration project from a completely different perspective with GEp’s unique take on urban spaces.

GEp can advise how to regenerate an area and focus on the commercials that will make it happen.

We generate cost-effective strategies for decontamination and advise on integrating private development and finance to make the regeneration last.

We fully focus on social and community aspects, tieing the whole vision together with legacy benefits that elevate urban areas long into the future.

Taking the history and architectural joy of listed buildings and placing them at the heart of a modern, sensitive regeneration strategy ensures the commercial costs of renovating Listed buildings and the goals of the project all interlink perfectly.
