Royal Canal Works was made possible by a bespoke agreement that benefited all the

parties who found themselves in a fix before enabl entered the scene. Our long-standing client, developer Cert Property, faced a challenge appraising the site in progress, with the pressure to meet the council’s affordable home requirement. Our expert planning division identified an opportunity to introduce client Southway housing association, who acquired part of the site on a land and package deal. Throughout the negotiation, enabl facilitated each step effortlessly, including:

• Identification of the unique opportunity.
• Provision of strategic advice, including management of all new planning applications.
• The enabl cost management team acting for housing association Southway throughout delivery, including...
• Negotiation of commercial terms.
• Preparation of the new contact.

This strategic deal allowed Cert Property to offload part of its site and, in doing so, comply with the affordable housing requirement. Thanks to enabl's intervention, the developers benefited from the property sale whilst remaining involved through their contractor partner facilitating the build. This allowed them to proceed with their town housing scheme on the remainder of the site.
