How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

Current use value

Agricultural or amenity value is the floor under any offer.

Hope value

The extra a buyer will pay for the chance of permission, which rises the closer the land is to existing homes.

Planning history

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

Constraints

Green belt, flood zones, heritage and landscape designations reduce the chance of consent.

Ways to sell this land

Subject-to-planning sale

We exchange contracts now and complete once permission is granted.

Option agreements

Joint ventures

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

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.

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.

A neighbour objects to everything

Objections are weighed against planning policy, not counted. We judge the scheme on policy grounds.

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

What people ask us about land without planning permission

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.

What happens if planning is refused?

On a conditional contract or option, if permission is not granted within the agreed period the deal ends and you keep the land. Any option fee paid is usually yours to keep.

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.

Can you visit land near Hanworth?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
