Suffolk Park, Bury St Edmunds

They called it no man’s land.

“In 2016, when we first became involved at Suffolk Park, we talked to the institutions about investing in the park and the question was always: where is Bury St Edmunds, isn’t that east of Cambridge, that’s no man’s land.”

Nic Rumsey, founder and managing director

Taylor Wimpey appoints Jaynic to promote and develop 114 acres of farmland on the edge of Bury St Edmunds. The institutions aren’t interested. Jaynic backs it anyway.

114 acres of farmland

“We’ve had a very fruitful partnership with Jaynic at Suffolk Park. Outline planning permission was secured by Jaynic less than 3 years ago, since when transactions have been secured for around 1.5m sq ft of business space, representing around 75% of the Park.”

Andrew Wilson Land Director, Taylor Wimpey

“The market thought we were crazy to carry out the first speculative development in Bury St Edmunds for 20 years! He who dares…”

Nic Rumsey, on Suffolk Park’s first phase

For landowners

Your land. Our money. Open book.

Jaynic is always looking for land to promote through the planning system. We take the risk and the cost, and we only do well when you do. You deal with directors from the first visit to the final sale.

  • We pay for planning

    We invest at our own risk to secure planning permission: the surveys, the reports, the local plan work and the application. The cost of trying is ours, not yours.

  • Open book, same side

    We’re always aligned with you to get the best total receipt. The more you earn, the more we earn, and you see every cost along the way.

  • Self-funded

    Jaynic is founder-owned and completely self-funded, so there’s no outside investor in the background with a different agenda or timetable.

How promotion works

Every site starts as a line on a map. This is the one we’ve drawn around 91 acres at Shepherds Grove, Stanton, which we’re taking through planning now. Here’s what happens, and who does what.

Questions

Straight answers.

The questions landowners and occupiers ask us most. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly.

Ask a question

What is land promotion?

Land promotion is how land with potential gets planning permission. A promoter like Jaynic takes on the cost and the work: putting the land forward through the local plan, commissioning the technical studies, consulting the community and the council, and making the planning application.

Once there is permission, the land is sold on the open market for the best price, or developed. The landowner keeps most of the uplift in value.

Who pays for planning?

We do. Jaynic invests at its own risk to secure planning permission, so you don’t pay for surveys, reports or the application. Because we’re completely self-funded, there’s no outside investor setting a different timetable.

How long does it take?

It depends on the local plan. Where land is already allocated, permission can follow within a year: at Suffolk Park we were appointed in 2016 and had outline consent in April 2017. Where it isn’t, expect to work through the next local plan review, which usually means several years.

What land are you looking for?

Sites of 10 acres and upwards in the south and east of England, for homes, business space or a combination of the two. Land close to main roads and existing towns suits us best, and we’re happy to look at land others have given up on.

Will you buy land outright?

Yes. We will buy land outright, unconditional on planning. A deal that is conditional on planning usually lets us pay a higher price, because it takes the risk out of the purchase, so we’ll talk you through both.

Can you build a new building for my business?

Yes. We design and build freehold or leasehold buildings to your brief, from 10,000 sq ft to 700,000 sq ft. On a consented plot we can typically deliver in about nine months. We can also manage the planning and build on a site you already own, or your fit-out.

Do you pay introduction fees?

Yes. Fees are paid for successful introductions of land, occupiers and investments.

Where are you based?

Our office is at The EpiCentre on Haverhill Research Park, Suffolk, a building we developed. We work mainly across Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, with projects in Berkshire and West Sussex too. Jaynic is a member of the Land, Planning and Development Federation.
