Independent strategic land management.
OG Group is an independent strategic land manager. Planning, urban design, civil engineering and public consultation — all under one roof, from edge of settlement to entire new towns.
How OG Group works.
Every venture is unique and requires a bespoke strategy which is both proactive and reactive. We are opportunity-led, independent and free to create solutions that unlock value — for landowners, local authorities and the communities that follow.
Read the opportunity
We start by understanding the site, the local plan position, the political landscape and the landowner's ambitions — before any strategy is written.

- Local Plan position & policy context
- Political landscape & member dynamics

Shape the strategy
Planning, urban design and engineering perspectives sit around the same table. The strategy is bespoke, defensible and built to unlock value at the right moment.
- Multidisciplinary brief — planning, design & engineering
- Vision document & masterplan options
- Risk-weighted promotion route
- Bespoke commercial structure
Promote with conviction
From masterplanning and consultation through to allocation and consent, we stay with the project — proactive when there's room to push, patient when the politics demand it.
- Pre-application & member engagement
- Public consultation (Glide)

- Allocation, consent or appeal

What landowners, planners and developers say.
OG ran our promotion from start to finish. Planning, design and engineering all sat in one team — we never had to brief anyone twice.
A genuine multidisciplinary practice. The integration between planners and engineers shows up in the quality of the evidence base.
The team are proactive, commercially smart, and they tell you the truth about deliverability — which is rarer than it should be.
We're opportunity-led, independent, and free to create solutions that unlock value — for landowners, for local authorities, and for the communities that will eventually live there.— Matt Regan, Managing Director
