When a subject-to-planning sale suits land near Droitwich

  • Small sites with a clear planning case
  • Brownfield sites needing a housing permission
  • Owners willing to wait for a higher price
  • Land with a registered title

A conditional contract shares the planning risk fairly. You agree a price today, we fund and run the planning application, and the sale completes if permission comes through.

What to check in a subject-to-planning sale

Acceptable permission

Appeals

Contracts say whether we can appeal a refusal and how long that adds.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

You want to know what 'acceptable' permission means

The contract defines it, such as a minimum number of homes. Your solicitor should check it carefully.

You're worried we'll get permission for something you don't like

The contract can set out the scheme or limits on what we apply for.

Useful to send us

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about a subject-to-planning sale

Can I still use the land before completion?

Usually yes, until we need access for surveys or until completion.

Do I get a deposit?

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with terms set out in the contract.

How long does the planning stage take?

In England the statutory period is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major ones; in Wales it's eight weeks. Both extend to sixteen weeks where an environmental impact assessment is needed, and surveys, validation and negotiation often add time.

Do you buy land in Droitwich?

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