How we arrive at a figure for land in Somerset
Previous development
Existing buildings and hardstanding can make redevelopment acceptable where open fields would not be.
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.
Timescale
Green belt promotion can take years, which usually points to an option rather than a quick sale.
Four routes to a sale
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Somerset
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Weston-super-Mare
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.
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.
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 Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. Villages between Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
