Sell green belt land in Polesworth
Our interest in green belt land around Polesworth is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
Green belt land is land around certain towns and cities where national policy restricts building to stop urban sprawl. It can still be sold, and in England some green belt land may now count as 'grey belt', where development can be acceptable in the right circumstances.

Planning and legal points for land in Warwickshire
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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.
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.
