5 MAIDENHEAD POLESTAR SITE, MALVERN ROAD

6 Development We are actively seeking land or buildings without planning permission which has potential for residential, mixed-use or commercial development in South East England, particularly in Greater London and the Home Counties. We will consider any existing use type, tenanted or vacant, large or small. Funds are immediately available for unconditional purchases and decisions are made very quickly. We will also consider purchasing on a subject to planning basis or with an option agreement. What we do

7 Investment As a bi-product of our development activity we have a growing residential and commercial property investment portfolio which is carefully managed in order to maximise income return and asset value potential. We are continually seeking to acquire new assets and will consider freeholds that are multi-tenanted, single occupier, part vacant or fully vacant. Strategic We strongly believe that brownfield land should be the first port of call for development, but it is important for communities to accept the need for sensitive and controlled development of greenfield land where appropriate, provided that any new development will offer benefits to local communities beyond the new housing that is delivered. Ashill Strategic s remit is the identification and promotion of land holdings with strategic development potential. These landholdings are often outside of defined settlements, but will be located within sustainable locations and only land that is appropriate for development will be promoted.
