Land Classification Surveys
A detailed assessment to establish the true classification of land.
Delivering Expertise
Agricultural Land Classification
Understanding the quality and capability of agricultural land is essential when making decisions around planning, development, valuation, tenancy agreements, or long-term land use.
Our Land Classification service provides a clear and accurate assessment of land quality. While national Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) maps offer a broad indication of land grades, they are not detailed enough to assess individual sites. We carry out site-specific surveys using qualified soil specialists and recognised government guidance to establish the true classification of the land.
With a clear evidence-based assessment of land quality, you can move forward with confidence when making decisions about its future use.
Understand your land
Practical insight backed by evidence
Every survey combines detailed field assessments with soil analysis and desktop research to understand the opportunities and limitations of your land. We assess factors including soil characteristics, climate, site conditions and agricultural capability before determining the appropriate land classification.
We begin by understanding the purpose of the survey and the decisions it will support, before carrying out the necessary fieldwork and producing the findings report. Outcomes are clearly explained and include supporting evidence and mapping where required, providing a robust document to underpin decisions.
Whether you’re a farmer, landowner, developer, or adviser, you’ll have the information needed to evidence planning applications, strengthen negotiations, inform valuations, and make confident decisions about future land use.
