MVA – was tasked with finding an urban extension by the client. Site identified through self searching, direct discussions with the landowner. At the time there was a critical issue with the councils 5 Year Land Supply, MVA engaged directly with the Head of Planning and other Heads of Services at the Local Authority, MVA also engaged with all the relevant councillors. MVA devised the strategy and approach the project would take to gain planning and assembled a project team and managed this on behalf of the client as Project Director.

Subsequently planning was gained for 1,500 new homes, employment uses, a new school and community uses as well as a Stadium for Cornwall. Freehold of site was then purchased by the client after planning granted.
