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.

Planning and legal points for land in Tyne and Wear
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
The permission has lapsed
A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.
The plot shares a drive
Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about building plots
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.
Will you buy a plot with an old house on it?
Yes. Demolition and rebuild can work well, and we price in demolition costs.
What happens to any CIL on the plot?
Where CIL applies, it's usually paid by whoever builds. Some self-build exemptions exist, which we check.
Do you cover the villages around Wallsend?
Yes. Villages between Wallsend, Hebburn and Jarrow often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
