Planning and legal points for land in Greater Manchester
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.
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.

What people ask us about land
Do you buy land in Chadderton?
Yes. We consider land in and around Chadderton and across Greater Manchester. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Can you visit land near Chadderton?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
Do you buy land without planning permission?
Yes. You can sell outright at a price that reflects the planning risk, or on a subject-to-planning or option basis that pays more if permission is granted.
Do you buy farmland with no development potential?
Our interest is mainly in land with some prospect of development. For pure farmland we may still make an offer, but a local land agent selling to farmers may achieve a better price, and we'll tell you if so.
