What we look for around Brough
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Gardens with room for access past the existing house
- Large gardens of older detached houses
- Gardens where similar plots nearby have gained permission
A large garden can be a valuable plot. The key questions are access, the effect on your own home and neighbours, and local planning policy on garden development.
What decides the value of garden land near Brough
Access
A separate access onto a lane is ideal; access past your house needs enough width.
Trees
Protected or large trees can limit the plot.
Combined sites
Several gardens together can be worth more than each sold separately.
Plot size
Value follows the size and type of home the plot can take.
Four routes to a sale
Outright purchase
Suits garden plots that already have planning permission.
Subject-to-planning sale
The usual route for garden land: we complete when permission is granted.
Option agreements
Useful when several neighbours' gardens are being assembled.
Joint ventures
Possible if you'd like a share of the new home's value.

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.
Garden land
Councils judge garden plots against local plan policies on character, design and neighbours' amenity. The August 2026 revision of national policy adds support for some development on residential curtilage land, within limits.
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
Your mortgage lender has a charge on the whole property
Your lender needs to agree to release the plot. Your solicitor arranges this.
Neighbours may object
Objections are judged against policy. A careful design reduces genuine impact.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about garden land
Can I sell part of my garden?
Yes. Your solicitor will divide the title, and your mortgage lender will need to agree to release the land if it has a charge over it.
Do I need planning permission to sell garden land?
Not to sell it, but planning permission is what gives the land its value, so we usually buy subject to planning.
What if my neighbour wants to sell too?
Combined sites often work better. We can make offers to both and structure the deal so each owner is treated fairly.
Do you buy land in Brough?
Yes. We consider land in and around Brough and across the East Riding of Yorkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
