The realisation that large areas of land are likely to be granted permission for housing developments in the future has encouraged people to add land to their investment portfolio.

How can you from land?

Whilst nothing is guaranteed, carefully chosen land can be an excellent investment. Here's how it works for :

• An researches land that's likely to be developed • The company buys a large piece of this type of land, currently without development permission • The land is sub-divided into smaller • Private investors buy parcels of land for as little as £5,000 • Purchase includes freehold ownership and the investor's name on the deeds • Investor can sell the land at any time • Land will probably increase in value over time • Land will substantially increase in value if is granted

The relative affordability of this land means that it is now a serious investment opportunity for private investors. The land is always bought without any planning permission, which is why it is cheaper, and although there are no guarantees about the to be made, the investment company has usually researched the area including the numbers of new houses needed and the availability of other land locally before choosing which land to buy. This means that the company will not buy land unless it is very sure that it will be granted development permission at some time in the future.

How can you make more money?

A prudent investor may put some of the money generated by their first "land deal" into new pieces of land. This is a medium-term investment, so returns can come in 5-10 years. This means that with careful planning, you could re-invest your profits into a number of different parcels of land, making more money when permissions are granted.

A good land agent can talk you through your first purchase and help you to identify plots of land that fall within your criteria.

Whether it is property, stocks and shares, pension funds, business stakes or savings plans, it's a good idea to spread your between a number of different options. If this is the way you invest, then think about adding land to your .

What can land do for me?

The right land in the right place can provide you with a great return on investment. In the UK, increasing demand for housing over the next ten years will make certain types of land very desirable as new developments are needed and builders and the general population look to sites further out from town and city centres.

How do I know which land to choose?

Unless you have a lot of money to invest, you won't be able to buy a large piece of land. Small can buy parcels of land from investment firms, who have taken the time to research the available land and have chosen to buy land that they think is likely to be developed in the next few years. This selection is made by experts with many years of experience in land sales, and so the private investor benefits from their knowledge, without having to spend a long time researching the land themselves.

What length of investment am I looking at?

Depending on the land, it could be developed into housing or business premises in anything from two to ten years. Your land will probably increase in value over this time anyway, but the real profits come when development planning permission is granted. Once you have bought the land, you can sell it at any time you choose, but you will realise greater returns if you wait until building permissions come through.

Land is an excellent addition to your portfolio as a short- to medium-term investment. The potential returns make it an investment that's worth further investigation no matter how much you have to spend. Strategic offers a selection of across the UK.

As a small investor, and with a little help, you can now turn land into cash.

What's the attraction of land?

When you're thinking of something to do with your , land is rarely at the top of the list. That's because most people assume that any land with development potential will be too expensive for them, and so they turn to more affordable such as savings accounts, company shares and tracker funds. Take another look at the potential of land though, because it could make you more money than all your other investments combined.

Why are the potential profits so great?

As a private investor, you will be buying a parcel of land within a larger plot; this is what makes it affordable. The land company buys a large area of land that it has researched and which it thinks has a high likelihood of being ear-marked for housing development in the future. The land is reasonably cheap because it doesn't have attached to it, and so the investment company divides it into smaller plots so that private investors can buy affordable land. If the company is right, and the land is later granted planning permission, the value of the land increases substantially -- sometimes by as much as 800% - and significant profits can be made. The UK's demand for housing is increasing every year and there is a constant need for new development, so more land is needed to the housing need.

Are there risks?

Land is the same as any other investment; profits cannot be guaranteed. There is a risk that planning permission will not be granted for the site where you hold land. That's why you should always speak to a reliable land agent and make sure that you are happy with the investment company's reasons for thinking that the land has development potential. No land agent should promise profits, but if you invest wisely, you could see an amazing return on your investment. Strategic Land Investments offers a selection of investment land across the UK.

Simplicity -- the purchase of a is a straightforward legal transaction that can be completed within 28 days. Selling your land on is equally as easy.

Management -- you don't have to be checking share prices every day or spending your profits on maintaining a property, or dealing with tenants. Instead, you buy your land and then leave it until development plans are agreed, or you simply want to sell it on. It is a simple, low .

How does land banking work?

When large parcels of land are put up for sale, they are usually far too expensive for a single small investor. Land that's in a good place for residential or business development is usually either bought by a company or by a property developer. The owner then "banks" or holds onto the land until they are ready to sell it or develop it. During this time, they can parcel the land up into smaller, much more affordable section and sell these sections to . Each investor holds the to their land, and can sell at any time, although the best are usually realised when planning permission is granted for the site.

How much does it cost?

The cost of the land to small investors will depend upon the type of land, the potential for development and the size of the land. For as little as £5,000, investors can buy a good-sized piece of land in a prestigious location. You can, of course, choose to spend much more, and the are often graduated in size to accommodate a range of investors.

Is it complicated to buy?

Land is easier to buy than property. It is still a legal contract, though, so it's worth getting it checked by your solicitor. The straightforward nature of the purchase means that it can often be completed within 28 days.

Can I sell it?

In most, if not all cases, when you buy the land, you also acquire the freehold. This means that you can sell the land on at any time. Most people hold on to their property for between 2-8 years, to realise profits from the development of the site, but you can sell whenever you want or need to.

Where do I start?

Land is expensive, and the closer to transport links, amenities, schools and shops it is, the more you have to pay. In addition, land often only comes up for sale in large parcels, which are both too large and too expensive for the average investor.

This doesn't mean that buying land in order to , or just to sell on for a profit at a later date is completely out of the question. Depending on what you're looking for, you can take a step on the land-holding ladder.

Building plots

If you've decided to build your own home or business premises, you first need to secure a plot of land. Whether your aim is to live or work in the property, or to sell it on once it is completed, you will need to find a suitable plot in the right location. You can do this by visiting estate agents or specialist land agents. Just like buying a property, you can talk to them about your requirements and they can match those with the land currently available. You will need to check whether planning permission exists for the site, and if not, the likelihood of approval to build being granted. Your plot is unlikely to increase in value if you can't build on it.



If you're just looking for an alternative , then you should consider land investment. Many UK land agents are now offering the opportunity for smaller investors to buy a within a larger area owned by a single company or developer. This land may be targeted for development at a later stage and is usually in a key location, where its value is forecast to increase. This type of land is usually either too large or too expensive for small investors, but they can afford a small parcel of the land which they can then sell on again at a later date, making some profit along the way.

If you are a private investor and you are considering adding land to your portfolio, speak to a land agent for more advice. Nationwide specialises in land acquisition and sale across the UK.

As grows in popularity, there is no shortage of land agents willing to you channel your into the land they promote. Finding a good, reliable land agent is the first step to profitable land ownership.

Whilst buying land is usually more straightforward than buying property, it is still a legally-binding deal and things can go wrong. That's why you need an honest land agent that can help you through the process from start to finish and ensure that everything runs smoothly. When you are looking on the internet for land agents, or speaking to an agent on the phone, make sure you check that they:

Recommend a

Even though the process is fairly clear-cut, it is a good idea to have a solicitor look over your contract to check that everything is in order. Agents that you from going to a solicitor may have something to hide -- those that recommend that you take the contract away and make sure you're happy with it are a better option.

Talk you through the planning process

The level of profit you reap from your investment in land is largely down to whether planning permission is granted for the development of your land. Make sure that you the land agent about this process, so that you understand how it works, the timescales involved and what happens to the value of your land if planning is denied.

Give no s

Even with an excellent investment like land, there's no guarantee that you will make a profit and a land agent shouldn't offer such a guarantee unless they can prove to you how your money will grow. Be very wary of agents who don't make it clear that profits are based purely on the rising value of the land, which is affected by a variety of factors outside the control of the agent.

Are happy to give recommendations

Ask if you can talk to some current or previous clients so that you can get some feedback on the advice and service given by the land agents. In today's world, most people will find land agents by looking on the internet and it makes sense to have access to other people who have used the agent rather than being seduced by a website -- always make sure there is experience and expertise at the heart of the agency.

This article will give a quick introduction to the concept behind land banking and how it can fit as a part of your portfolio.

Real estate investment horizons or in laymen terms, the time taken for you to recover the amount that you invested may take anything from a month if you flip properties to several years if you are talking about longer s. Land banking falls within the second category and qualifies as a longer term investment and returns however can be as much as four to five hundred percent of the initial sum that you invested into the property.

What typically happens is that the developer bids for land that is not developed and then puts money to buy the land. Note in some jurisdictions there is usually some time lag of a few years before the city gives the go ahead for the developer to start building the development on the land. So the developer then sells the property to another company who then sells the property to who buy units.

Three to five years later, the plots approval comes in and the developer then purchases the property from the investors at many times the price and then you can from your investment. Spend some time quizzing the land banking agent about what type of exit time frames is he looking at and find out the returns and compare it against the rest of the returns that you are looking in other types of . Always balance the risk of loss and reward mentally so that you can make a rationale decision when faced with a high powered real estate investment sales pitch.

In conclusion, this is a long term investment with the unknown factor of when the land is given the green light to be developed further. Real estate investment thus may be slightly more risky than other types of real estate investment. That said, it is submitted that land banking can be used as a longer type form of real estate investment that you can add to your real estate portfolio.

is no different from any other savings vehicle. Many people have seen excellent returns on their investment, and land prices in key areas continue to increase; particularly where the need for housing is greatest and land for development is at a premium.

So, can you from land? Here's why land could be a good investment for you:

-- in the UK, there is still a housing shortage with, on average, only half the needed being built each year. As demand continues to exceed supply in this area, developers will seek new sites and the planning authorities may grant permission on a wider range of sites in order to re-balance the housing scales. This creates a great opportunity for those who wish to invest in land.

Property prices -- of the new homes being built, fewer of them are falling into the "affordable" price bracket. This means that developers are realising higher profits for their projects and can afford to make higher bids for land for future development.

-- although rural and will also rise in value, there is still money to be made in central land locations. Where urban land can be regenerated, it is often turned into multi-function developments; apartments with , eating and recreational activities all within the same site. There is a huge appeal to this type of lifestyle and these developments are still profitable.

Economy -- land doesn't have to be earmarked for residential development in order to make a profit. Out-of-town shopping centres, business parks and leisure complexes are still big business and whilst spending is high and these developments increase job opportunities in the area, they are also likely to make money for the landowners.

As always, profits can't be guaranteed. If you buy land that's denied planning permission, you're unlikely to make the returns that are possible when planning is approved, and that's a risk you must assess before you commit your money.

Less risk, more profit

Whilst some investors have a significant investment in the stock market, often with a comprehensive, well-, for most smaller investors, their experience of the market is limited to one or two companies and they are therefore more open to and risks. can be affected by many external factors, often beyond the company's control and, unless you are watching the market carefully day by day, you usually have to hold onto your for many years in order to turn a good profit.

By contrast, if you select the right land, or take the advice of a reliable land agent, you can realise potentially fantastic profits in a much shorter space of time. This is because the land that's normally made available to smaller investors has been carefully chosen. Big land investors buy and then bank land that they think will be ear-marked for development in the future, and then either hold onto it, or parcel it up and sell it to , who reap the benefits if planning permission is granted at a later date.

No maintenance required

Once you've bought your piece of land, you own it outright and can sell it whenever you choose. You don't need to maintain it as you would a property and you don't need to follow its fortunes day in, day out, to find out whether you're making any money. If you need to raise money, you can sell your land quickly, whereas if your shares are at a low price, you won't be able to make enough cash.

The best of both worlds

If you have thought of investing in land, but don't want to get out of the stock market completely, then just broaden your portfolio by reducing your shareholdings and investing in land as well.

= In the United Kingdom alone there is a MAJOR shortage of and land. It's become such a desperate situation that the British government have had to kick-start a multi-billion pound affordable housing campaign - the bottom line? There is going to have to be a HUGE amount of land purchased for all of these houses to be built. The U.K. is an island - and land is a highly finite and much needed commodity. Over the next few years, land for this reason alone is set to EXPLODE in value. Your Land will arm people with the most critical information that they MUST know in order to identify the most valuable land that will offer the best investment returns (there are as you may imagine several factors that land investors must consider before jumping in).

=B7 While land is an investment that is not in the average investors portfolio, it has long been a valuable component in the "" portfolio. In other words, the true elite have been profiting from land value gains for centuries. Now, this once guarded secret is being revealed by investment media (magazines and tv) the average investor on the street is becoming more and more aware of land as a potential investment.

From our perspective as information providers this is huge - expect to see a sharp increase in the number of people searching for "" online - expect to see more affiliate programs offering land investments - expect to see more advertisers bidding for land investment keywords... and yet right now the number of websites dedicated to land investments are *extremely* low - the ones providing valuable information (such as the optimised adsense website templates you will own) are far and few between. In the UK search that I performed practically all websites were nakedly trying to grab email addresses with one-page websites giving highly biased commentary on how wonderful land investment is (I urge you to try and find a decent website on this niche - they are pretty woeful and do not provide good balanced content).

Viewers don't want this - they can see through such transparent ploys. You'll be in pole position to offer them genuinely valuable information, better than anything they can find online elsewhere, and you'll be able to offer them this information free. The result? They bookmark you and tell their mates. They come back. They sign for your newsletter. They click on your adsense displays while doing their research. They check out your affiliate links. They form a LONG-TERM BOND with you...and that's where the real wealth lies.

=B7 This is interesting (it sure surprised me) - Land in the UK has beaten the stuffing out of both real estate and the stock market over the past 20 years. In fact, during this time-frame land has increased in value by over. 900%.

=B7 Land is a hands-off investment and there are no maintenance costs involved - unlike real-estate (which by the way is a wonderful investment option itself) the land owner does not have to worry about finding tenants or servicing a mortgage. Despite this, there are ways for land owners to achieve residual income on their land while it increases in value.

=B7 There are certain techniques that are used to pin-point land to buy for investment that will have the explosive returns that we're talking about. Your private label content and adsense optimised templates will disclose what these are (they combine certain logistical and demographic factors along with little known government plans among others.

=B7 This is a sub-niche of the highly potent and cash-rich real estate market. I've said this a million times before but when choosing a niche you really need to target cash-rich markets with a lot of prospects. The Adsense website templates you'll own have been built to tap in to not only land investment adverts but also real estate investment.

OK, we've touched on the reasons why land investment is bursting to the rafters with potential. This is a niche that will be potent for decades. Land is a highly finite commodity - and the population in places such as the UK are exploding (according to the UK office for national statistics the UK population is going to increase by over 6 million over a 25 year period)...do you really need to be a genius to know what that means when it comes to land ownership?

The types of investments that involve real estate include which are also known as REITs, real estate partnerships, , rental property, and raw . Each of these real estate investment types has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Real Estate Investment Trusts are companies that sells, buys, manages, and develops land and properties. These REITs are set up as a security that sells on all of the major exchanges just like a stock, and directly invests in real estate by mortgages or property. These trusts get special consideration concerning taxes and they usually offer a high yield and are very liquid compared to other real estate investment types. Individual people can invest in this type of real estate investment by purchasing shares directly on one of the open exchange markets or through an investment broker.

The next type of real estate investment we will look at is a real estate partnership. This is when several individuals partner together and pool their funds and resources for the sole purpose of real estate investment. Investments are made with joint ownership with the other partners in the real estate investment group.

Vacation rental property is one type of real estate investment that provides a rental income most of the time. This type is considered a , but a big advantage is that you can sell this property and get the value of the property no matter how many years you collect rent for the property. The disadvantage is that as the owner of the property you are responsible for any damage, repairs, and maintenance even if the renter caused the problem. If the problem was caused by the tenant then you do have some remedies available in civil court for the cost of repairs and parts. This investment property is generally rented for short periods of time, and there may be periods of vacancy where there is no rental income from it.

Rental property can be one of the best real estate investment types when it comes to long term income. This type of investment property usually provides a monthly income unless the property is vacant. No matter how long you own the investment property you should get back at least the value of your original investment, and in most cases much more. You collect rent for as long as you own the property without your investment ever losing value, so the monthly income minus expenses is a lot like a very high interest payment. Raw land real estate investment is when a person or company invests in raw land and then makes a profit off of the natural resources of the land or develops the property.

No matter which real estate investment type you choose, you should be aware of all the advantages and disadvantages for the type you are planning to invest in. Do the research and make your investment plan, including which types of real estate you want to invest in. Do your homework before investing and you will never be sorry afterward.

I never the full significance of the preceding phrase until I realised the importance of the other interests in land other than the obvious real estate related rights in the land. This article will highlight three different interests in property for us to consider in real estate ment when we next examine our property investments.

Firstly, spend some time considering the . In farming and agricultural land, water is often a good resource. Imagine that you own on some land in the countryside, one thing that many landowners would consider doing is to give a licence to the adjourning farmers to gain the use of the water on the vacant land either through a well or some irrigation method. Always get a licensed water engineer to consider your water table and the relevant rules imposed by the state on the supply of water and get an attorney to fix the contract.

Secondly, assuming that you own property that have such as oil or other profitable minerals under your property, you can sell the right to someone who is involved in the oil business. You want to learn all you can about the cost of selling such rights and possibly retain a percentage of all oil revenues. Get assistance in valuation and deal structuring from oil and gas attorneys and brokers who have a good feel of the market. You would note that some bankers set up oil trusts to invest in such properties and the rich invest in them to earn a monthly income and you can take advantage of such an investment opportunity if you find an oil field property or own one.

Thirdly, air rights are a valuable asset that you can sell over your property. In busy cities, where land is scarce, sometimes all the developer needs is the airspace over your present property to build over. For instance if you own a historical building and it cannot be demolished or if the land below is a vital installation to the city, then building over the real estate may be the only solution. Sometimes developers want to have a certain amount of space to sell so they may want to build over your property so as to meet that criteria or build a ring of hotel properties in an area. An example of a good use of air rights was seen when Donald Trump built his skyscraper hotel over the Grand Central Station in New York.

In conclusion, take a closer look at the next real estate investment property that you purchase today and examine it if there are any additional rights that you can sell.

For these reason and others, rural land has become an vehicle for many people.

Whether for investment or relocation reasons, you will have to take note of the availability of services and in the rural area you want to relocate. Foremost, you will have to consider access to potable water. Where there is none available you should be prepared to make extra investment into providing the service yourself. This may call for drilling and installing pumps to draw the water. Power is another consideration. Is the area well connected? If not you will have to provide alternate . In many instances the new owner may have to provide a generator or install solar panels. At times, the nearest power source may be miles away. In this case you will have to consider how much it will cost to draw power from that distance to where you are.

One big issue that seems to affect many rural land owners is the legal issues of Ingress and egress. Simply put these terms refer to the legal implications of passing through somebody property in order to get into yours. You may occasionally find access road leading to your property but they may turn out to be somebody's property. In the future if the owner intends to put up structure on that road, you may be have difficulty reaching your site. There are to manage these types of occurrences but it is prudent to check with the area about possible ingress and egress and how to handle them before they become problematic. If you are intending to sell the land after some time, you will lose a lot of value if your land island locked, that is if cannot be access without trespassing someone's property.

Communication is of great importance in assessing a land in the rural area. You will want to find out if you have reception with your phone. Many providers are in the process of installing land lines in the most remote part of the country where traditional phone lines are not available. So in the vent of non availability, you will consider a special service such as satellite phones which may comes at an extra cost.

Buyers of rural land will have to be aware of the issue of easements of land. This law primarily states that you must have a certain amount of fencing around your home to protect it from cattle otherwise the cattle have the right of way if they stray into your land or compound. Check with the local authorities about the existence of this law so that your farm crops or other property are not destroyed for not fencing your property.

As you negotiate the price of the land or seek out which property to buy, discuss with your agent about what use you want to put the land. Every locality has restriction on the type of structure you can build. You will want to find out first than to buy a land unfit for a purpose.

Lastly, involve your lawyer in the transaction. Land issues can be quite tricky. Your lawyer will be able to advise whether the type of land you intend to buy may spark off legal trouble or not. In many cases, a freehold may infringe on local government regulations as to what you can or cannot do. Checking out all these in advance will relieve you of disputes and injunctions as you go about your land development.Martin Webbster is a writer for Horse Clicks - horse property classifieds of land for sale, farms for sale, ranches for sale and other horse real estate.

If you've never mad ea land purchase before, it's only natural that you would not be aware of these factors much less the difference between them and other forms of real estate.

You should become familiar with the process of purchasing land before making the actual land purchase.

Consider hiring an attorney to help you in the land purchase. When it's time to negotiate the contract, the attorney will be especially helpful.

Choose an attorney that has previous experience in that deal with land. This is the best kind of professional to assist you in the process. You can find an attorney using a directory or by asking for references from people you know.

You should never assume that you will be able to obtain a building permit for the land. Don't make your land purchase under this assumption. You can be denied a building permit for several different reasons.

The sales contract regarding your land purchase should include a clause that will let you out of the purchase if, unfortunately, you cannot obtain a building permit.

If you don't include such a clause, you will end up with a piece of land that you can only resale. Chances are if the land cannot be constructed upon, you will have making a land purchase to someone else.

Check with the local utility companies to be sure that you can have electric, gas and water services at the site. Do this before the land purchase. The last thing you want is to find out this information after you the contract.

Find out if lines are available for the land. The local city hall can assist you in finding out this information.

If you find out that there is not a public accessible to the land, you will need to install a septic tank. As you think about the purchase price of the land, keep this cost in mind.

The city's building department can let you know if the land is zoned for what you plan to use it for. Different lots of land are zoned for different purposes.

Also check for any restrictions regarding construction and other uses of the land.

In some instances, the topography of the land can influence the cost of the work that must be completed.

Have your contractor look over the property to check for any costs that may come up because of the landscape. It is best to do this check now than to have to pay later.

You need to be sure of the details of the land purchase process.

CAM's series 3 land fund replicates the success of their Series 1 and Series 2 diversified land managed fund -- which is targeted to deliver a 15% annualised return over a 7 year investment period after all fees and expenses.

One of the attractions of these funds is that they are based on the investment potential of land sites for re-development at a time when there is a severe shortage of land in the UK to develop for residential and business purposes, combined with the Government setting targets of 3 million new homes to be built by 2020*.

The funds will only purchase sites within the UK if there is a strong likelihood of obtaining change in their permitted planning use to generate an increase in the sites' value -- sites carefully identified and purchased by land planning, development and management experts Connaught Land. This could be, for example, a change from agricultural or redundant industrial use to residential or commercial use.

Each fund is designed to make land investment accessible to a wider range of investors, whilst keeping investment as low as possible through site diversification (to ensure the risk of a single site not performing to expectations is minimised), no gearing, constant managing and monitoring.

The fund will be offered as a UK limited partnership with an associated exempt unit trust for SIPP and SSAS investors. It is also available to invest via a number of offshore bonds. The minimum investment in the fund is £35,000 or the Sterling equivalent of 50,000 Euros, if higher. Profit from successful projects will be paid out during the term of the fund.

The fund will only be promoted through intermediaries and is due to close on 29th February 2008. It will be capped at £50m and offered on a first come first served basis.

The funds are operated via CFG, which is authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) to act in the UK as the operator of an unregulated collective investment scheme and is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the conduct of its regulated activities.

Nigel Walter, Chairman at Connaught Asset Management, said: "We have been absolutely thrilled by the interest shown in our Series 1 and Series 2 Strategic Land Funds and we already have commitments from several substantial businesses and institutions to promote our Series 3 fund to clients. "The current market conditions of declining returns in the Commercial Property sector and increasing uncertainty in equities have proven to be an ideal time for Investment Specialists to look at alternative non-correlated asset classes. I firmly believe that land is an ideal diversifier for any investment portfolio.

In addition to Connaught Land every project we research will be managed by a top 20 Land and Planning specialist business and will then be independently assessed prior to purchase and throughout the project life. The latest HM Revenue and Customs Property Market Report predicts land inflation over the next five years will be 63% and with Central Government making house building a key priority over the next 20 years it is an ideal time to invest in our fund.''

"These low risk funds are designed to deliver capital appreciation with profits paid out to investors throughout the life of each fund." Brian Primrose, Associate Director from Capita Financial Group, said:

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find building land exactly where you want it. The growth in property prices over the last ten years has resulted in a rise in the number of people choosing to build their own homes and that, together with ongoing residential developments, means that land is becoming more scarce. It may be to look for a building plot. This is often a smaller, subdivided area of land, such as a large garden or , where has been granted for a certain number of properties. These plots may be sold individually and whilst they may be smaller than building land, they are usually more centrally located and cheaper.

Planning permission

It's vital that the land you buy either has planning permission already in place, or a very good chance of getting approval. There's no point spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on a plot if you're never going to be able to build there. often come with outline planning permission, particularly if there is a house or building already there. Speak to your agent and to the planning office to ensure that you are going to be able to build when you want to.

Location and

You need to check that the building land or plot is in the right location for you and that you can have access both in terms of getting on and off the site, but also for connection to utilities such as water, electricity and gas.
