Planning and legal points for land in Oxfordshire

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.

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.

Is a joint venture better than selling?

It can pay more, but you wait longer and share the risk. It suits some owners and not others.

Do I need separate advice?

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

Do you buy land in Didcot?

Yes. We consider land in and around Didcot and across Oxfordshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
