How we arrive at a figure for land in Nottinghamshire
Current use value
Agricultural or amenity value is the floor under any offer.
Local plan position
Land allocated, or close to being allocated, for housing carries far more hope value.
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.
Four routes to a sale
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 Nottinghamshire
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
A neighbour objects to everything
Objections are weighed against planning policy, not counted. We judge the scheme on policy grounds.
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.

Questions from landowners near Sutton-in-Ashfield
Who pays for the planning application?
On subject-to-planning and option deals we normally fund the planning work. On an outright purchase it is our risk and our cost after completion.
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.
Do you buy land in the green belt?
Sometimes. Green belt land is hard to develop, though England's planning policy now recognises 'grey belt' land. We will tell you frankly whether your site has a realistic prospect.
