How we arrive at a figure for land in Nottinghamshire
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.
Sustainability
Land close to transport and services makes a stronger case.
Current use
Without a planning prospect, value reverts to agricultural or amenity use.
Choosing how to sell

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Hucknall
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.
What is grey belt land?
In England, national planning policy introduced 'grey belt' in December 2024 and kept it in the revised framework of August 2026. It means green belt land, including previously developed land, that doesn't strongly contribute to checking the sprawl of large built-up areas, stopping towns merging or preserving the setting of historic towns. Housing on grey belt land can be acceptable if further tests are met.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Hucknall?
Yes. Villages between Hucknall, Arnold and Kirkby-in-Ashfield often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
