What we look for in Kent
- Green belt parcels hemmed in by existing development
- Land that contributes little to the purposes of the green belt
- Land next to stations or main roads on the edge of towns
- Redundant buildings, yards and nurseries in the green belt
- Larger holdings that could be promoted over a longer period
If your land is in the green belt, an honest appraisal is worth more than an optimistic one. We tell you where it stands and only make an offer we can justify.
What affects the price
Grey belt potential
Green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to the key green belt purposes may be treated as grey belt.
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.

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.
Green belt and grey belt
Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.
Awkward details we deal with
You've been told green belt land can never be built on
That isn't quite right. Policy allows certain development and plans can release land. It is hard, though, and we won't pretend otherwise.
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.

What people ask us about green belt land
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.
Is my land green belt?
Your council's local plan policies map shows green belt boundaries. Send us the address or a plan and we'll check.
Do you buy land in Kent?
Yes. We consider land across Kent, from Maidstone to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
