Planning Assistance Loan
Got a client with planning consent who wants to maximise their scheme?
Our Planning Assistance Loan helps developers add value to a site by enhancing existing permissions. Whether that’s increasing unit numbers or optimising layouts, this short-term facility provides the flexibility to progress while revised plans are secured.
Our experienced team will visit the site, new build or refurbishment, and where we can support, partner closely with you to drive the project forward.
From this loan, clients can transition directly onto a Shawbrook Development Finance facility to deliver the build.
We support:
- Experienced property developers with planning in place
- Residential, commercial and mixed-use developments
- High value residential projects
- Student housing, senior living and co-living
- Care homes
- Phased development schemes

Why build one house when you can build two?
We provided additional capital while enhanced planning permissions were secured on a development project in Surrey.
"Securing enhanced planning permissions can take time, and this can cause issues for developers who need to manage their cashflow while they wait to get building."
Stewart Budge, Relationship Director Shawbrook
