Selling a small plot with or near planning permission

For owners of paddocks, large gardens, yards, garage sites and small fields in Solihull, Warwickshire and the West Midlands. We introduce suitable plots to small local builders who are actively looking. No cost to you.

In short: if you own a small plot that has planning permission, had it once, or sits next to a village or town, a small builder may want it. Tell us roughly where it is and we'll do a free check.

Plots we can help with

Why small builders want these plots

Small builders often struggle to find plots of the right size. National policy now asks councils to plan for at least 10% of their housing on sites no larger than one hectare (National Planning Policy Framework, chapter 6 (policy HO6)). That makes well-placed small plots worth a proper look.

How it works

  1. Tell us roughly where your land is and its size.
  2. We do free desk checks: planning history, local plan position and obvious constraints.
  3. If it fits what a registered builder is looking for, we ask your permission before introducing you.
  4. You deal with the builder and agree terms with your own solicitor.

If your land is bigger or needs years of planning work, a land promoter may suit it better. Read should I talk to a land promoter?

Questions

Is my plot too small to interest anyone?

Not necessarily. Small builders often look for plots for a handful of homes, including paddocks, large gardens, yards and garage sites. Whether yours is suitable depends on planning, access and location, which is what our free check looks at.

Do I have to pay you?

No. There is no cost to you. If a builder buys your plot after we introduced them, the builder pays our fee. We will always tell you that before any introduction.

My planning permission is about to run out. Can you help?

Planning permissions are time-limited. A full permission usually has to be started within three years unless the decision says otherwise. If yours is close to its end date, tell us soon, because builders need time to buy and start.

What if I don't have planning permission?

Land next to a village or town, or on a council brownfield register, can still interest builders or land promoters. We'll tell you honestly if we don't think there is a realistic route.

Will I have to sell?

No. Nothing happens without your agreement, and you should always take independent legal advice before signing anything.
