The things that move our offer

Position

A paddock next to houses has far more potential than one in open countryside.

Existing buildings

Stables and hardstanding may count as previously developed land in some cases.

Change of use history

Equestrian use may already have needed planning permission; we check the record.

Neighbours' views

Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.

Four routes to a sale

Outright purchase

A clean sale reflecting grazing and any hope value.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once homes are approved on the paddock.

Option agreements

Useful where the paddock could form part of a wider site.

Joint ventures

Suits owners of larger equestrian yards with redevelopment potential.

Planning and legal points for land in Gloucestershire

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.

Farm tenancies

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

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

The only access is a narrow track

We measure what's there and see if it can be widened or combined with neighbouring land.

You still keep horses on part of it

We can look at buying part of the land and leaving you the rest, with access protected.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

Is my paddock worth more than agricultural land?

Often, because paddocks are close to houses. How much more depends on access, planning policy and whether homes could realistically be built.

Will you buy the stables too?

Yes. We buy the whole site as it stands, including buildings and fencing, unless you'd like to keep something.

What if the paddock is landlocked?

Landlocked paddocks are worth less, but can still be valuable to an adjoining owner or as part of a wider scheme.

Do you cover the villages around Bishops Cleeve?

Yes. Villages between Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
