Who are Gladman?

Gladman were founded in 1987 by multi-millionaire David Gladman and are based in Cheshire. They describe themselves as “the UK’s most successful strategic land promoter”. Gladman have taken a strategic decision to tackle a weakness in UK Government Policy and in particular where County Councils and District Councils do not have a current Strategic Development Local Plan. We should point out that not all Gladman planning applications fall into this category, but a large number do.
Gladman simply find land and submit outline planning permission applications. If outline planning permission is granted they negotiate the sale of the land along with the permission to the building developer with the highest offer. Yes, this is all about money. Gladman approach the land owners it is understood on a “No Win No Fee” basis, and the landowner and Gladman share the profits.
