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

Questions from landowners near Humberstone
Can you visit land near Humberstone?
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 cover the villages around Humberstone?
Yes. Villages between Humberstone, Leicester and Oadby often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
How do you work out what my land is worth?
For land with development potential we estimate what the finished homes would sell for and deduct the costs of planning, building, finance, obligations and a profit margin. What's left is the land value. For land without a planning prospect, value is based on its current use.
Can I sell landlocked land?
Yes, though usually at a lower price unless access can be secured. Neighbours are often the most natural buyers.
