Planning Feasibility Reviews
Understanding whether a site is viable for development is an important first step to unlocking potential.
Our planning feasibility reviews provide a clear, structured assessment of what may realistically be possible for a site before significant time or money is committed.

If your land has development potential, securing planning permission could significantly increase its value.
Where a site shows genuine promise, we may fund and manage the planning process ourselves through a subject to planning agreement - meaning you don’t carry the cost or risk. If permission is granted, the land can then be sold with the benefit of planning approval.
about us
A Strategic Approach to Finding Planning Potential
Uplift Planning & Property Ltd was founded to help landowners unlock development potential within their property assets and to help them realise the profit from this.
Planning systems can be complex, but with the right analysis and strategy from an early stage, many sites offer opportunities that can unlock additional value. Our role is to assess those opportunities objectively and guide clients through the early stages of the planning process.
We combine property investment insight with planning awareness to evaluate:
- Development feasibility
- Planning risk and constraints
- Site optimisation opportunities
- Potential uplift in land or property value
Our focus is always on identifying practical, achievable opportunities that deliver meaningful value.
My story
Katrina - Director of Uplift Planning & Property Ltd
I grew up, and currently live in Cornwall, shaped by the landscape, coastline, and strong sense of community that make this part of the world so special. From an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for land and place — not just how they look, but how they function and evolve over time.
My interest in planning began while I was at university, where I realised I was drawn to the bigger picture - how thoughtful decisions about land use can influence opportunity, community wellbeing, the environment and long-term value. That discovery set me on a path that became a 30+ year career in land use planning, working across both local government and private practice in the UK and New Zealand.
Experiencing two different countries and planning systems broadened my perspective and strengthened my ability to navigate complex projects with confidence and clarity. It also reinforced something I have always believed: good planning, done well, can unlock real potential.
Alongside my professional career, I have personally renovated properties in both the UK and New Zealand. These projects gave me first-hand experience of what it means to see beyond what is immediately visible - to recognise opportunity, manage risk, and bring ideas to life.
Today, through my work, I focus on helping landowners uncover the hidden value within their land and property. I am particularly passionate about supporting improved housing affordability and access to housing in Cornwall, contributing to solutions that are thoughtful, sustainable, and locally appropriate.
When I’m not working on projects, you will find me outdoors (in all weather!) enjoying Cornwall’s spectacular environment with my border collie, Ziggy 🐾 - enjoying the very landscape that first inspired my professional journey.
