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

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Common questions
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Can you visit land near Banbury?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
