Sell land with planning permission in Brackley

Our interest in land with planning permission around Brackley is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.

Land with planning permission has consent from the local planning authority to build a specific development, either in outline (the principle) or in full (the detailed design). We buy consented sites directly, check the permission and its conditions, and make an offer you can accept without marketing the land.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

What we look for around Brackley

  • Full or outline permission for one home or more
  • Sites with a signed Section 106 agreement we can read
  • Lapsed or lapsing permissions, which we can look at renewing
  • Plots with permission in principle

If you already hold consent, you have done the hard part. We review the decision notice, conditions and any legal agreement, then make an offer that reflects what it will really cost to build.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Northamptonshire

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.

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.

Ways to sell this land

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

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 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

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about land with planning permission

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.

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.
