Welcome to GummerLeathes
As a Master Developer, you might expect us to introduce ourselves with lists of projects and plots. In our case, however, construction is simply a means to an end.
We created this business to build thriving communities. These are places people aspire to live in, where residents feel a real sense of belonging.
This is why we start with people rather than buildings. We listen to a whole range of views and seek to understand different perspectives. We plan around parks and pitches, village greens and health centres, pubs and hubs, cycle paths and green spaces. These are the things that make communities flourish.
Around these foundation pieces, we look at transport links, both inside and around the space. We seek to reduce light and noise pollution, increase bio-diversity and improve existing facilities.
Only then do we look at the houses themselves, which should be beautiful, efficient, sustainable, affordable and connected.
During our very first conversation that led to us forming GummerLeathes, we agreed that our business would be different: it would put communities first. That will never change and, we hope, it will be our lasting legacy.

Our places
We work with landowners who want to create beautiful, sustainable places in which communities can thrive, by:
- Engaging in extensive consultation with local residents and community groups;
- Listening and adapting;
- Designing around natural landscapes;
- Connecting seamlessly with neighbouring places;
- Enabling healthy living;
- Committing to a net zero carbon outcome.
Collectively, that means we only seek to create long-term value and a meaningful legacy, rather than short-term profit.
