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.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

Common questions
Do you buy land in Southampton?
Yes. We consider land in and around Southampton and across Hampshire. 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 Southampton?
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.
What kinds of land do you buy?
Fields and paddocks near towns and villages, building plots, garden land, brownfield and small commercial sites, garage courts, barns and rural buildings, larger strategic sites, and land with awkward problems such as poor access.
Can green belt land be sold?
Yes. Green belt land can be bought and sold like any other land. The designation affects what can be built on it, and so what it is worth.
