Turn site complexity into a clearer development path
Planning permissions, planning conditions, restrictive covenants, easements and overage — Orbital reviews everything that governs what you can do with a site and shows you the restrictions on the map, so you reach certainty before you commit capital.
Understand what the site can support before committing capital
Orbital reviews planning decision notices and local authority searches (planning disclosures), then checks the scheme against use classes, planning conditions, s.106 obligations, CIL, and other relevant requirements. It identifies the status of planning permissions, including outline permissions, full permissions, reserved matters approvals, and any associated conditions.
Identify title restrictions before they constrain the build
Restrictive covenants, easements, overage/clawback provisions, and estate covenants can affect how a site is used, accessed, and developed. Orbital reviews these documents in the context of the proposed development, helping your team identify relevant use restrictions, build limitations, access rights, and consent requirements earlier on, before they become a problem.
Get a clear picture of the property site
Identify title boundaries, order official HMLR documents, and build bespoke site plans, so you can see how the scheme relates to the site's legal and physical boundaries.
From site control to construction-ready agreements
Rapidly draft site-control documents from your own precedents, including option agreements. Review and negotiate sale contracts, development agreements, construction contracts, and consultant agreements, with mark-ups and issues lists that reflect your side of the transaction.
Keep long-running development projects moving
Track critical dates and project phases throughout the life cycle of a multi-year development. Orbital's shared projects help development, finance, planning, and leasing specialists work from the same documents, context, and analysis.
Ready-to-use land-use workflows
Start with more than 70 pre-built real estate report templates, built by real estate lawyers and customisable to your precedents, allowing your team to set up productive workflows without building anything from scratch.
Developers, counsel, and the firms that build with them
Understand planning, access, and phasing requirements earlier, helping teams to accurately evaluate constraints before making key development decisions.
Keep documents, analysis, dates, and specialist input connected as a long-running project moves from site control through financing, construction, and lease-up.
Provide specialist teams a structured starting point for every step of the project life cycle, including planning, diligence, and development agreements.
