How we arrive at a figure for land in Nottinghamshire
Policy on garden land
Some councils resist garden development unless it fits the character of the area.
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.
Choosing how to sell
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.

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.
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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.
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.
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.
