Sell, partner or build in Buckinghamshire
Garden land usually leads to one of two outcomes: money for a plot you don’t need, or a new home that stays in your hands. For the first, we offer direct purchase, sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion, joint ventures and help combining gardens with neighbours across Buckinghamshire. For the second, our design and build route takes you from feasibility to handover, with a written quote once the design and survey are done.

The planning picture in Buckinghamshire
Nationally, the NPPF sets the framework that every council in England works within. Locally, each planning authority across Buckinghamshire applies its own Local Plan policies and design guidance, which is why two similar gardens a few miles apart can get different answers. The councils here include Buckinghamshire Council and Milton Keynes City Council. Before any money is spent on drawings, we check which policies apply to your address, whether the council has published guidance on garden land, and how decisions on similar plots have gone. That research is part of the free appraisal.
Planning authorities: Buckinghamshire Council, Milton Keynes City Council.

Questions about garden plots in Buckinghamshire
How much is a garden plot in Buckinghamshire worth?
It depends on location, size, access, title and, above all, planning. Two similar gardens in the same street can be worth very different amounts if one has easy access and the other doesn’t. We don’t quote figures before we’ve looked at a plot properly; the free appraisal is the way to find out.
Which national rules apply to a new home in Buckinghamshire?
Garden schemes here sit under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), with the local detail coming from the council’s Local Plan. New homes must also meet the Building Regulations. That affects things such as fire engine access (or other measures, often sprinklers, agreed with building control and the fire service where a fire engine can’t get close enough). On drainage you’ll usually need a drainage plan the council will want to see, and land purchases fall under Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). We check which rules apply to your plot as part of the free appraisal.
Can you build a new home in my garden in Buckinghamshire for me to keep?
Yes. Through our design and build route we survey your plot, design a new home with you, apply for planning and, once permission is granted, build it. You keep the land and the new home, to sell, let or use for family. You get a written quote after design and survey, and any earlier guide price is a guide only.
How long does planning take for a garden plot in Buckinghamshire?
The council usually has eight weeks from validation to decide a small application, though extensions are often agreed, and the whole process takes longer. Surveys, design work, pre-application advice and amendments all add time, and some ecology surveys can only be done at certain times of year. We’ll give you a realistic timetable for your plot rather than a promise.
