Sell land without planning permission in Primrose Place

If you own land around Primrose Place and want a straight answer about it, we'll tell you whether we can buy it, on what terms, and what the offer is based on.

Land without planning permission is any land that has no current consent for building. You can still sell it: either outright at a price that reflects its present use and the chance of permission (hope value), or on a conditional or option basis that pays more if permission is granted.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Where Primrose Place sits

Primrose Place (PE7) sits in OS grid square TL29, about 6 miles east of Peterborough. Sites between here and Whittlesey or March are just as much of interest to us.

Flat arable fenland in the north contrasts with a fast-growing Cambridge area in the south, where the Cambridge green belt surrounds the city.

What makes land without planning permission near Primrose Place worth an offer

  • Fields and paddocks on the edge of settlements
  • Land inside or touching a settlement boundary in the local plan
  • Sites the council has assessed in its land availability study
  • Grazing land with no tenancy or with a tenancy that can be ended

Without consent, land is valued on its current use plus whatever hope value its location supports. We will explain how much of our offer is each, so you can see what you are being paid for.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Cambridgeshire

Local plan position

Land allocated, or close to being allocated, for housing carries far more hope value.

Planning history

Past refusals and appeal decisions on the site and its neighbours shape the odds.

Access and services

Land that is easy to reach and connect is cheaper to promote and build on.

Deal structure

Conditional and option deals can pay more because the price is fixed against value with permission.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Certainty now, at a price that reflects the planning risk we take on.

Subject-to-planning sale

We exchange contracts now and complete once permission is granted.

Option agreements

We pay for the right to buy later and fund the planning work meanwhile.

Joint ventures

You keep a stake and share in the value planning creates.

Planning and legal points for land in Cambridgeshire

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.

Green belt and grey belt

Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The council says the land is outside the settlement

Settlement boundaries change when plans are reviewed. We look at the plan timetable and whether the site could be promoted at the next review.

You don't want to wait years

Then an outright sale at a lower, risk-adjusted price may suit you better, and we will say so.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

Can I sell land without planning permission?

Yes. Land without consent is bought and sold every day. The question is whether you want a lower price now or a higher price later that depends on permission being granted.

What is hope value?

Hope value is the premium a buyer pays above the current use value because there is a realistic prospect of planning permission. It is higher the more likely and closer that permission is.

Will getting permission myself increase the price?

It can, but applications cost money and carry risk. We can talk through whether it makes sense for you to apply or for us to do it under a contract.
