What decides the value of land with planning permission near Waterlooville
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.
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.
Four routes to a sale
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 Hampshire
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.
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 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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about land with planning permission
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.
