What makes land with planning permission in Buckinghamshire worth an offer
- Reserved matters approvals or discharge-of-conditions decisions already in place
- Permissions that are still within their time limit, or have been lawfully started
- Prior approvals for conversions, such as agricultural buildings to homes
- Lapsed or lapsing permissions, which we can look at renewing
- Plots with permission in principle
A site with a live planning permission is the simplest land to sell. The main questions are whether the permission is still valid, what its conditions require and how much the Section 106 agreement costs to deliver.
What affects the price
Type of permission
Full permission carries less risk than outline, which still needs reserved matters approval.
Time left on the permission
A permission close to expiry may need a quick start or a fresh application, and that affects price.
Abnormal costs
Retaining walls, drainage works or contamination add cost beyond a normal build.
Sale values nearby
What similar new homes sell for locally sets the ceiling on value.
Four routes to a sale
Consented land sells on detail. We read every condition and obligation so our offer is based on the scheme as approved, not on guesswork.
Outright purchase
The usual route for consented land: agree a price, then exchange and complete.
Subject-to-planning sale
Useful if you want us to improve or renew the permission before completion.
Option agreements
Rarely needed once consent exists, but can suit phased sites.
Joint ventures
An option if you would like a share of the profit from building the homes.

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.
Biodiversity net gain
Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
Agricultural buildings (Class Q)
In England, Class Q permitted development can allow some agricultural buildings to become homes through prior approval, within limits on size and number of homes.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Awkward details we deal with
The permission is about to expire
In England a full permission normally lasts three years and in Wales five. We check whether a lawful start has been made or whether a new application is the better route.
The conditions look onerous
Some conditions are routine and some are expensive. We price each one so you can see what is driving the offer.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Common questions
Does a permission go with the land when I sell?
Yes. Planning permission attaches to the land, not to the owner, so it passes to the buyer automatically.
Can you buy if I only have outline permission?
Yes. We will price the reserved matters work and the risk that the detailed design changes the number or type of homes.
Do you pay more for full permission?
Usually, because there is less risk and less work before building can start. How much more depends on the conditions and obligations attached.
Do you buy land in Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We consider land across Buckinghamshire, from Milton Keynes to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
