Our Mission

Island Land exists to tackle the Channel Islands' housing crisis, transforming unused brownfield sites into homes for local families by removing the financial barriers that keep developable land sitting idle. We believe every local family deserves access to affordable housing, and by unlocking these forgotten spaces at zero upfront cost to landowners, we're creating opportunities for sustainable development that protects our precious green spaces while building the homes our communities and local families desperately need.

The Challenge We're Solving

Across Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man, families are struggling to find affordable homes while potentially valuable brownfield sites remain undeveloped. The barrier isn't lack of suitable land—it's the enormous financial risk involved in securing planning permission. Traditional planning applications can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds, with no guarantee of approval. This creates a vicious cycle where landowners can't afford to take the risk, developers can't find approved sites, and families can't find homes.

Our Revolutionary Approach

We've completely reimagined how brownfield development works by removing risk from the equation. Our model is built on three core principles:

Why Brownfield Matters

Our exclusive focus on brownfield and greyfield sites isn't just good business—it's essential for our islands' future. By regenerating previously developed land, we're protecting the natural landscapes that make our communities special while addressing housing needs. Every brownfield site we unlock means one less greenfield site under pressure for development.

Technology Meets Experience

We combine artificial intelligence with decades of local planning expertise to identify the most promising sites and navigate complex approval processes efficiently. Our AI helps analyze planning policies, assess development potential, and create preliminary designs, while our experienced team ensures every application meets the highest standards.

Building Community Partnerships

Island Land isn't just about individual projects—we're building a network of landowners, planners, architects, and developers all working toward the same goal. Whether you're a property professional looking to collaborate, a landowner with an underused site, or someone who simply cares about housing accessibility, there's a role for you in our mission. Together, we're not just unlocking land—we're unlocking opportunities for island families to build their futures at home.
