Planning and legal points for land in Leicestershire

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about losing privacy

We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Will selling part of my garden reduce my home's value?

It can, especially if the garden becomes small or overlooked. We'll talk this through so you can weigh it against the plot price.

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.

Who pays for the planning application?

On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.
