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.

Tax on the sale

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about the risk

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Common questions

What is a land joint venture?

An agreement where you contribute land and we contribute funding, planning and construction, with proceeds shared on agreed terms.

What happens if the homes sell for less than expected?

Depending on the structure, your share may fall. That's the risk you take in return for sharing upside.

Do I need separate advice?

Yes. You should have your own solicitor and tax adviser before entering a joint venture.
