What makes building plots near Hadley Wood worth an offer
- Plots for one to a handful of homes
- Plots with full or outline planning permission
- Plots where a previous permission has lapsed
- Plots that need a demolition first
Whether your plot has full permission, outline consent or none at all, we'll look at what can realistically be built and make an offer to match.
The things that move our offer
Neighbours
Overlooking and loss of light to neighbours limit what can be built.
Services
Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

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.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Awkward details we deal with
Self-builders keep pulling out
Self-builders often need mortgages and stage finance. A builder buying direct can remove that uncertainty.
The plot shares a drive
Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.
Useful to send us
