What decides the value of paddock land near Sittingbourne
Position
A paddock next to houses has far more potential than one in open countryside.
Neighbours' views
Overlooking and outlook affect what layout a council will accept.
Drainage
Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.
Amenity value
Without a planning prospect, neighbours may pay a premium for a paddock adjoining their garden.
Ways to sell this land
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.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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.
A neighbour has used the field informally
Long informal use can raise questions about rights. Your solicitor will check this early.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about paddock land
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.
Can I keep a strip for my own access?
Yes. Your solicitor can reserve rights or keep land back as part of the sale.
