What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Brownfield first
National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.

Common questions
Do you buy land in Walthamstow?
Yes. We consider land in and around Walthamstow 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 Walthamstow?
Yes. Villages between Walthamstow, Leytonstone and Tottenham 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.
