Rules that apply in Wales

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
