How we arrive at a figure for land in Gloucestershire
Time left on the permission
A permission close to expiry may need a quick start or a fresh application, and that affects price.
Section 106 and CIL
Affordable housing and financial contributions come straight off what a buyer can pay.
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.
Choosing how to sell
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.
How a sale works

A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.
You get a written offer
With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

Planning and legal points for land in Gloucestershire
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
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 I sell a plot with prior approval for a barn conversion?
Yes. Prior approvals are time limited and have their own rules, so we check the approval and the building before making an offer.
Can you exchange quickly on a consented site?
Often, yes, because the planning question is answered. The pace then depends on title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work.
Do you cover the villages around Bishops Cleeve?
Yes. Villages between Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
