DISCOVER A NEW WORLD
The Zog Group consists of numerous property companies operating throughout UK and Europe. We specialise in both vacant and income producing Brownfield sites capable of mixed use regeneration for residential and commercial uses. The professional team behind Zog have been extremely successful in obtaining planning consents throughout the UK. The Zog Group are continuously looking to acquire further opportunities nationwide with no restrictions on lot size. Zog’s latest venture is a new Brownfield Fund in partnership with HBOS within excess of £100m for the acquisition of Brownfield sites in the UK.
Western Riverside Bath, Somerset Western Riverside is a 30 acre Brownfield regeneration site in the heart of historic Bath. A masterplan is currently being dealt with to include up to 2,500 new homes and major commercial and community uses. Phase 1 is a 15 acre section known as the Stotdard & Pitt Site. Sensitivity has been crucial throughout the preparation of the planning application – The Zog Group has consulted with special interest groups, residents and the council from the outset. When considering this project, it is important to remember that Bath is the only city in the UK to be classed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Westdene manages a team of consultants who progress sites through to the point of detailed planning consent. The focus is on maximising the value of the site based upon our experience within major house building operations. At the point of detailed consent, Westdene either parcel’s up the land to sell on, or undertakes the construction and sales of housing units on the site. Alternatively, there may be a combination of land sales and development.
