Maximising land value
2nd March 2026
Phoenix Strategic Land specialises in strategic land promotion, working alongside farmers and landowners to realise the long-term development potential of farmland. The business focuses on careful promotion through the planning system, helping landowners maximise land value while recognising that many sites may continue in agricultural use for years.

Operating primarily across the East Midlands and East Anglia, the company says it has a track record of guiding land through the complexity of the planning process, whether opportunities for development arise in the short or long term. The team takes a patient, measured approach, allowing landowners to plan confidently for the future of their farm or wider landholding.
Phoenix Strategic Land forms part of Phoenix Sustainable Investments and is led by CEO Karl Hick, who brings over 30 years’ experience in the housebuilding and development sector. He is supported by joint MDs David Morris and Daryl Kirkland, whose combined expertise spans land acquisition, planning, and residential-led development.
Current projects range from around 50 homes to schemes exceeding 700 homes, all managed with a consistent, long-term strategy.
Farmers and landowners considering the future of their land can speak with the team for a confidential, no-obligation discussion, with no impact on current farming operations.
