Strategic land is a long game. We set out the planning route, who pays for what, and how the final price is worked out before you commit to anything.

What affects the price

Local plan timing

A site that can be put forward at the next plan review has a clearer route to permission.

Infrastructure

New roads, schools or drainage on a large scheme are paid for out of land value.

Minimum price

A floor price protects you if values fall during a long planning process.

Term length

Longer agreements give more time for planning but tie up your land for longer.

Four routes to a sale

Outright purchase

Rare on unallocated strategic land, but possible at a risk-adjusted price.

Subject-to-planning sale

A fixed or formula price paid once an acceptable permission is granted.

Option agreements

The usual route: an option fee now and a price based on market value later.

Joint ventures

Lets you share in the development value if you can wait for it.

Planning and legal points for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.

Farm tenancies

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

When the land isn't straightforward

Several family members own the land

We can work with all owners and their advisers, and agreements can set out how payments are split.

The land is farmed by a tenant

Tenancies need managing before building can start. We look at notice periods and compensation early.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Brough

What counts as strategic land?

There's no legal definition. In practice it means larger sites, often over five acres, whose route to development runs through the local plan or a major planning application.

How is the price worked out on an option?

Most options set the price as a percentage of market value once permission is granted, less agreed deductions, with a minimum price to protect you. We explain every deduction before you sign.

Can I farm the land while planning is pursued?

Usually, yes. Agreements normally let you keep using the land until the buyer needs it.
