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.

Heritage

Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.

When the land isn't straightforward

Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.

Useful to send us

  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell
