Planning and legal points for land in Derbyshire

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.

Tax on the sale

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

Selling land in Derbyshire: questions

Do you buy land in Derbyshire?

Yes. We buy land across Derbyshire, including around Derby, Chesterfield and Long Eaton. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects.

Which planning rules apply to land in Derbyshire?

Land in England is assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework and the council's local plan.

Do you buy land on the Derbyshire border?

Yes. We also cover Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire, so land close to the county boundary is fine.

Should I get my own valuation?

Yes, we encourage it. An independent RICS surveyor or land agent can tell you whether our offer is fair. You're under no obligation to accept it.
