The things that move our offer
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.
Current use
Without a planning prospect, value reverts to agricultural or amenity use.
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
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Willenhall
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.
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.
