Bridge to Development


In some instances, some form of enhancement is required to a site before a senior lender will advance development funds. This could be securing full planning permission, planning enhancement or putting in infrastructure / service works.

In such cases, a bridge-to-development facility, either on a first or second charge basis, could be the ideal way to assist with the site improvement, and give peace of mind that some or all of the development funding is already secured.
