Planning and legal points for land in Cambridgeshire
Green belt and grey belt
Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

What people ask us about land
Do you buy land in Peterborough?
Yes. We consider land in and around Peterborough and across Cambridgeshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Can you visit land near Peterborough?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
Do you charge any fees?
No. We're the buyer, not an agent, so there's no commission. You normally pay your own solicitor's fees unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Can I sell part of my garden?
Yes. Your solicitor will divide the title, and your mortgage lender will need to agree to release the land if it has a charge over it.
