Regeneration
We care about re-purposing high streets and town centres and delivering homes in the areas they are needed most.
Our regeneration sector experts understand the complexities of delivering viable projects that facilitate levelling-up on a local and national scale and we work collaboratively with Local Authorities and developers to provide land and property support from conception to completion. To deliver a legacy of sustainable change requires certainty of vacant possession of land at a viable cost. Our Regeneration experts provide specialist land and property services that ensure the success of regeneration projects involving land acquisition and compulsory purchase.
Our multi-discipline service offering allows us to support all types of land assembly project, whether by agreement or using compulsory purchase powers. Where a CPO is required, we provide support from initial resolution, through pre-CPO engagement and negotiation, to implementation stages, and finally to taking possession of land and the settlement or determination of compensation.

Andrew Sissons
Head of Regeneration Delivery
Ardent has provided invaluable advice and support through our first CPO process. There has been a clear pricing structure and the time spent on the project has been sufficient without being given excessive. The staff involved in the delivery of the project have been proficient, responsive and professional throughout and have worked closely with us to achieve our desired outcomes. We have been more than happy with the services provided, we are happy to have them on our team and would happily work with them again in the future.
