What makes green belt land near Caerphilly worth an offer

  • Land that contributes little to the purposes of the green belt
  • Sites being reviewed in a local plan green belt assessment
  • Redundant buildings, yards and nurseries in the green belt
  • Larger holdings that could be promoted over a longer period

Green belt does not mean 'never'. It means development has to clear a high bar. In England, policy now also recognises grey belt land, and some green belt sites have been released through local plan reviews.

What affects the price

Local plan review

Councils sometimes release green belt land when they review their plans.

Openness

How visible and open the land is affects how much harm building would cause.

Timescale

Green belt promotion can take years, which usually points to an option rather than a quick sale.

Current use

Without a planning prospect, value reverts to agricultural or amenity use.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Possible where there is already some development or a firm planning prospect.

Subject-to-planning sale

Suits brownfield green belt sites where a scheme can be tested quickly.

Option agreements

Common for green belt land promoted through a local plan review.

Joint ventures

An option for owners prepared to wait and share in the result.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Green belts and green wedges

England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.

When the land isn't straightforward

Your land is in Wales

Wales has its own green belt and green wedge policies in Planning Policy Wales. The English grey belt rules don't apply there.

Agents have suggested very high values

A price that assumes permission is only real if permission is realistic. We show you how our figure is built.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

Can green belt land be sold?

Yes. Green belt land can be bought and sold like any other land. The designation affects what can be built on it, and so what it is worth.

Will you buy green belt land with no planning prospect?

Possibly, at a price based on its current use. We'll be clear about that rather than implying development value that isn't there.

How long does it take to get green belt land released?

Often years, because it usually happens through a local plan review. That is why options are common for green belt sites.
