About Connolly Land & Developments Ltd

Turning Land Potential into Proven Value

We founded Connolly Land & Developments Ltd in 2008, right in the heart of the UK property market downturn. While others saw risk, we saw opportunity. By leveraging our deep in-house expertise, we began consulting on land acquisition and identifying viable opportunities that others missed. Today, we are Chartered Land & Development Consultants with a track record of securing transactions with project values exceeding £400 million.

Our philosophy is simple: we challenge the status quo and use innovation to drive value at every stage of the development process. Whether you are a landowner looking to unlock the value of your holdings or a developer seeking your next major project, we provide the honest, detailed appraisal you need to move forward with confidence.

Specialists in Residential Land Promotion

We specialise in procuring and promoting sites for residential development, typically ranging from 50 to over 500 plots. We have a particular affinity for rural, affluent locations where our strategic approach can truly shine.

Our team has been instrumental in delivering major schemes, including consultancy for residential projects exceeding 1,000 units. We don't just find land; we manage the entire journey:

  • Bespoke land acquisition and brokering
  • Comprehensive Land Saturation Surveys
  • Strategic planning and development consultancy
  • Negotiating complex terms to protect our clients' interests

Leading the Way in Large-Scale Solar Energy

We are proud to be at the forefront of the UK’s renewable energy transition. We have developed some of the country’s largest solar farms, with over 350MW already successfully built and commissioned.

"Our Wymeswold Solar Farm project (33.3MW) won the Solar Power Portal award for Most Successful Large-scale Ground Mount Solar Site, recognised for its perfect location and lack of local objections."

We understand the nuances of the solar market, from declining installation costs to the increasing demand for Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). We help landowners secure 30-year guaranteed income streams while ensuring the land retains its agricultural potential.
