Waystone had proven capability to negotiate and operate partnership arrangements for the reclamation and redevelopment of all types of land both in public and private ownership.

Local authorities and public bodies can benefit from the expertise and investment that Waystone can offer. This was evidenced in the Kingsbury Link project, which was carried out in partnership with North Warwickshire Borough Council:

"The success of this project depended on trust and confidence between the partners in understanding and managing the risk involved. We found Waystone very good to work with and believe the final outcome to be a matter for pride for both them and the Council."

The issue of trust is equally important when working with private sector partners and Waystone has developed open book accounting and financial models to suit different types of project.

In Derbyshire Waystone's planning and engineering team designed the 300-acre mixed development regeneration scheme with the help of Bolsover District Council and formed a partnership with the Sitwell family. Here is what the family agent can tell you:

"For over 10 years I have represented the Sitwell family in their dealings with Waystone over the 300 acre development site at Barlborough, Derbyshire. During that time we have faced many difficulties but have always worked together to find a fair and proper solution that has served the common and individual interests well."

Waystone is continually seeking new partnership opportunities with owners of difficult or derelict land and can introduce investment where this is needed.

In addition at Stainforth, by Junction 5 M18 motorway, Waystone is proposing a new Marina project.

In order to ascertain the views and opinions of the local people, Waystone held an open day to display a model of the proposals and to invite attendees to complete a detailed questionnaire utilising information now analysed to include in a proposed planning application likely to be submitted in 2007.
