n July 2018, a new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published, aimed at releasing more planning consents at a faster pace. This creates an opportunity for Barratt to increase our focus on strategic land. This is land where we secure control via an 'option agreement' – we get the option to buy the land if and when we have secured planning permission. Because we take on the cost and risk of securing planning consent, we are able to buy the land at a lower price. For this issue of Foundations, we got in touch with some of our divisions to find out about the strategic sites they are currently working on.

North Scotland’s development at Countesswells consists of 128 units with a mixture of three and four bedroom homes. This Barratt branded site forms part of the overall Countesswells masterplan, which will create a new community on the edge of the city boundaries, comprising circa 3000 residential properties along with commercial units and educational facilities. The masterplan called for a range of traditional materials to complement the rural surroundings, with the Barratt product showcasing both brickwork and roughcast finishes throughout.
