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

We do the homework

Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.
What people ask us about land
Do you cover the villages around Bentley?
Yes. Villages between Bentley, Doncaster and Adwick le Street often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
How do I get an offer for land in Bentley?
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.
How much is a building plot worth?
It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.
