Sell green belt land in Woking
We buy green belt land across Surrey. In Woking, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

Is your land near Woking a good fit?

- Sites being reviewed in a local plan green belt assessment
- Land next to stations or main roads on the edge of towns
Green belt does not mean 'never'. It means development has to clear a high bar. In England, policy now also recognises grey belt land, and some green belt sites have been released through local plan reviews.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Surrey
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.
Openness
How visible and open the land is affects how much harm building would cause.
Sustainability
Land close to transport and services makes a stronger case.
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.

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.
Useful to send us
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

Yes. Villages between Woking, Guildford and Egham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
