By blending structured E-Learning modules with personalised live mentoring, our programme ensures that you receive the foundational knowledge you need, while also addressing your specific needs with tailored guidance from experienced mentors.

Our mentors work with you to understand your goals, assess your strengths and areas for improvement, and develop a personalised learning plan that supports your growth.

Blending E-Learning with Live, One-to-One Sessions

The foundation of our One-to-One Mentoring programme is the combination of structured E-Learning content with live, interactive mentoring sessions. This blended approach ensures that you receive a comprehensive learning experience that covers both the theoretical aspects of land acquisition and planning, as well as the practical application of these concepts in real-world scenarios.

• E-Learning Modules as a Foundation: Our E-Learning modules provide the foundational knowledge needed to succeed in land acquisition and planning. Covering topics such as navigating council planning policy websites, using GIS software to identify site constraints, and developing targeted land acquisition strategies, these modules offer a self-paced learning experience that ensures you have a solid understanding of the core concepts.
• Live One-to-One Mentoring for Practical Application: Building on the knowledge gained through our E-Learning modules, our live mentoring sessions provide the opportunity to apply what you have learned in a practical, hands-on setting. These one-on-one sessions are tailored to your specific needs, allowing you to delve into complex planning scenarios, refine your negotiation techniques, and develop bespoke acquisition strategies under the guidance of an experienced mentor.

By combining E-Learning with live mentoring, Bartons’ One-to-One Mentoring ensures that you receive a well-rounded learning experience that not only builds your knowledge but also enhances your ability to apply that knowledge in real-world situations.

Refining Negotiation Techniques for Success

Negotiation is a critical skill in land acquisition, and mastering the art of negotiation can significantly impact the success of your projects. Bartons’ One-to-One Mentoring provides focused support to help you refine your negotiation techniques, ensuring that you are well-prepared to secure favourable terms and maximise your return on investment.

Our mentors work with you to develop effective negotiation strategies that take into account the unique aspects of each deal, ensuring that you are well-prepared to achieve your objectives.

Mastering the Planning Process

Navigating the planning process is one of the most challenging aspects of land acquisition, but it is also one of the most important. Bartons’ One-to-One Mentoring provides the support needed to master the planning process, ensuring that you are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of planning policy, consultations, and applications.

• Understanding Planning Policy: A thorough understanding of planning policy is essential for successful land acquisition. Our mentors provide personalised guidance on how to interpret planning documents, understand local and neighbourhood plans, and assess how planning policies impact your projects. By building your understanding of planning policy, we ensure that you are well-prepared to identify opportunities and mitigate risks.
• Navigating Planning Applications and Consultations: The planning application process can be complex, with multiple stakeholders, consultations, and regulatory requirements. Our mentors provide step-by-step guidance on how to navigate this process, ensuring that you are well-prepared to submit planning applications, respond to consultations, and engage with local authorities effectively.
