Most land for sale has no planning permission. That does not stop a sale; it changes how the deal should be structured so the planning risk is shared sensibly.

What affects the price

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.

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.

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.

From first call to completion

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Worcestershire

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.

Common questions

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Stourport-on-Severn?

Yes. Villages between Stourport-on-Severn, Kidderminster and Droitwich often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
