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.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.

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 problems, and how we handle them

The land is tenanted

We look at the tenancy type and the notice and compensation rules before pricing.

Selling one field affects the rest of the farm

Rights of access and services can be reserved so the rest of the holding is protected.

Questions from landowners near Chalfont St Peter

Do I pay tax when I sell farmland?

Capital gains tax may be due, and reliefs may apply depending on your circumstances. Rules change, so speak to an accountant before you sell.

What about the tenant?

Tenanted land can be sold, but the tenant's rights continue. Ending a tenancy follows statutory rules, so we assess this at the start.

How quickly can you buy farmland?

With clear title and vacant possession, a straightforward sale can move at the pace of the legal work. Tenancies and unregistered titles take longer.

Can you visit land near Chalfont St Peter?

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.
