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.
Tax on the sale
The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

Selling land in Rutland: questions
Do you buy land in Rutland?
Yes. We buy land across Rutland, including around Oakham. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects.
Which planning rules apply to land in Rutland?
Land in England is assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework and the council's local plan.
Do you buy land on the Rutland border?
Yes. We also cover Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire, so land close to the county boundary is fine.
Should I get my own valuation?
Yes, we encourage it. An independent RICS surveyor or land agent can tell you whether our offer is fair. You're under no obligation to accept it.
