- Full or outline permission for one home or more
- Permissions that are still within their time limit, or have been lawfully started
- Sites with a signed Section 106 agreement we can read
- 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 decides the value of land with planning permission near Heston
Pre-commencement conditions
Conditions that must be discharged before building starts can add surveys, cost and delay.
Section 106 and CIL
Affordable housing and financial contributions come straight off what a buyer can pay.
Scheme quality
A scheme that is hard to build or sell may need redesigning, which reduces the land value.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London
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.
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.
The Section 106 makes the scheme unviable
If costs have moved since consent, a viability review or a variation may be possible. We will tell you if we think that is realistic.
Useful to send us

- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters

Questions from landowners near Heston
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.
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.
