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.
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.

What people ask us about land
Do you buy land in Chelsea?
Yes. We consider land in and around Chelsea and across Greater London. 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 Chelsea?
Yes. Villages between Chelsea, Battersea and Fulham 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 garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
