How we arrive at a figure for land in Somerset
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.
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.
Choosing how to sell
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.
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.
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Common questions
Do I need planning permission to sell a paddock?
No. You can sell it as it is. Permission only matters to the value and the type of deal.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Clevedon?
Yes. Villages between Clevedon, Nailsea and Portishead often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
