What affects the price
Previous development
Existing buildings and hardstanding can make redevelopment acceptable where open fields would not be.
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.
Choosing how to sell
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.
