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.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Your questions answered

Do you cover the villages around Abingdon?

Yes. Villages between Abingdon, Didcot and Cowley often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.

How do I get an offer for land in Abingdon?

Use the form on this page or call 0800 088 6248. Tell us the postcode, the rough size and anything you know about planning, and we'll come back to you.

How fast can I sell my land?

It depends on the land and the deal. A straightforward outright sale of registered land with no tenants can move as fast as the two solicitors can complete the legal work. Unregistered titles, tenancies, access questions and planning conditions all add time. We won't promise a completion date until we've seen the title.

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.
