The value isalready inthe ground.
We unlock value others don’t see — what your land is worth as drawn, and what one change makes it worth.
Three lines, on page one.
What it is worth as drawn. What it is worth with the best change. And what that change is.
A planning and development consultancy first.
Ongoing advice
A partner on your side from first idea to sale.
Fixed reports
One question, answered in writing, with every figure sourced.
Land Value Accelerator
What your land is worth as drawn, and what one change makes it worth.
04Affordable housing viability
Whether a scheme can carry the affordable share the council asks for — and if not, what it can sustain.
05Sales & market research
Evidence for every price, before any viability. Never the other way round.
From the very first constraint to the one change that matters.
Boundaries, title and every constraint — technical, legal and physical — read from the very beginning.
Policy position and emerging statutory requirements, from biodiversity net gain to nutrient neutrality, priced in rather than discovered late.
Access, ground, drainage and utilities, tested for what they cost and what they allow.
Forensic research across all 33 standard house types, new-build and second-hand, each with its evidence and a confidence grade.
A baseline viability of the scheme as drawn. Every figure carries its source.
Alternative schemes tested until one appraises higher — or the drawing is proved right.
Three lines on page one, a live workbook you can change, and a walkthrough that opens on any phone.
The software behind every run is held to more than 350 automated tests. Every mistake ever made on a live site is written down and tested against, so it is never made twice.
A loss on paper. A site worth building.
A promoted site whose drawing appraised at a loss. The market research showed what the area lacked; the optimised scheme gave it that.
All results“Thorough and carefully researched. Presented with authority and credibility, it was central to setting out a realistic picture of the five-year housing land supply.”
“Mark and I worked together for some years; in fact he worked for me when he first joined the development industry. He is particularly talented at spotting development angles that can add significant value to projects. I would expect anyone considering developing their land would find his counsel extremely enlightening.”
“Intelligent Land take a complex and often confusing subject and apply a structure and process that delivers clarity. They are innovative in their approach and forensic in their investigations, and that makes a tremendous difference when compared to traditional planning analysis.”
Market evidence first. Valuation second. Never the other way round.
What does Intelligent Land do?
We are a strategic land and planning consultancy in Bournemouth, Dorset. We advise landowners, estates, promoters and housebuilders on planning, five-year housing land supply and land value, and we tell you what your land is worth as drawn and what one change makes it worth.
What is the LVA Method™?
The Land Value Accelerator is our seven-step method: site, planning, technical, market, baseline, optimise, report. It typically finds 12–18% or more value than a standard appraisal.
Where do you work?
Across England, from our office in Bournemouth, Dorset. Most of our work is in the south of England.
Who is behind Intelligent Land?
Mark Hewett founded the practice after thirty years in strategic land, estate agency and development, including leading major land acquisitions across southern England for Taylor Woodrow. The partners include chartered town planners (MRTPI) and a chartered surveyor (MRICS).
Will you tell me if there is no value to add?
Always, and straight away. A clear no early is worth more than a hopeful engagement that goes nowhere.
What is your land really worth?
A confidential conversation with a partner, not a sales call. If we don’t think we can add value, we’ll tell you straight away.
Thank you. We will read the site before we call.
