Rules that apply in England
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.
Biodiversity net gain
Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
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 Cheltenham?
Yes. We consider land in and around Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Do you cover the villages around Cheltenham?
Yes. Villages between Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve and Tewkesbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
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.
