What England's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
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.

Your questions answered
Do you buy land in Gloucester?
Yes. We consider land in and around Gloucester 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 Gloucester?
Yes. Villages between Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.

Land is bought by S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group, based in Great Barr, Birmingham.
What counts as brownfield land?
Land that has been occupied by a permanent structure and its associated fixed surface infrastructure. Some exceptions apply, such as agricultural buildings and residential gardens in built-up areas.
