Helping landowners to make strategic decisions

As a fourth-generation, family-owned business and custodians of landholdings across the UK, Mac Mic Group says it fully understands the pressures and commitment needed to be a responsible landowner.

Founded in 1925, the company has evolved over the years, under the stewardship of the Mickel family, expanding its reach and adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the UK land and property markets. At the heart of each evolution of the company, each generation has contributed their unique skills and perspectives.

Mac Mic Group uses its wealth of experience to help landowners across the UK make strategic land development decisions. Its strategic land development team are experts in the delivery and promotion of strategic land and planning. It guides its clients through the ever-changing planning process, unlocking the hidden value in its clients’ land by:

• Helping clients to identify the potential worth of their land with a forensic analysis of the local policy and physical landscape.
• Guiding clients through the ever-changing planning process to identify the right solution for their land, establishing policy support where possible before moving forward
• Obtaining planning consent and then managing the marketing process to sell the land to housebuilders or developers. Mac Mic Group actively pursues the best return for its clients and improves the living experience in and around the development.

Working in collaboration with its partners – the landowner, local authorities and local residents – the company promotes suitable and sustainable land to help communities evolve, protecting and enhancing the environment. It is committed to unlocking land value for landowners by shaping communities through healthy design, creating places where people want to live, leaving a legacy we can all be proud of.

There is powerful evidence that the places we live directly affect health and wellbeing. Mac Mic Group is passionate about creating active and inclusive communities, where everyone has easy and safe access to open spaces and nature. It is deeply committed to these principles, as evidenced by its recent achievement of a Building with Nature Design Award for a project in Keynsham, Somerset.

A farmer in Oxfordshire who works with the company said: “Our land has been part of our family history for nearly 400 years, so we care deeply about what ultimately happens to it. Our experience with Mac Mic Group has been very positive. They are approachable, professional, and honest. They are a very safe pair of hands and I’d recommend you talk to them.”

Meanwhile, a farmer in Hampshire commented: “I’ve been approached by lots of developers over the last 15 years and Mac Mic Group have been the only ones with a workable solution. They are professional, fair and persistent and that’s what got this across the line!”
