Sell, partner or build in Lincolnshire
Selling and building aren’t the only choices; you can also sit somewhere in between. A joint venture lets you put in the land while, in the usual structure, we fund and manage design, planning and the build, with you sharing in the outcome, for example through a share of the sale proceeds or a new home back. Owners in Lincolnshire who want less involvement can sell outright, and those who want more can keep the land and have us build for them.

The planning picture in Lincolnshire
Councils in Lincolnshire ask the same broad questions of any backland scheme, though each answers them through its own Local Plan. Can cars get in and out safely, without unfair disturbance to neighbours? Will the new home overlook anyone or take their light? Does it fit the pattern of the area, with enough garden left for both homes? Are trees, wildlife, parking, bins and drainage properly handled? On top of that, the design has to allow for 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). The scheme must also take account of biodiversity net gain rules.
Planning authorities: Boston Borough Council, City of Lincoln Council, East Lindsey District Council, North East Lincolnshire Council, North Kesteven District Council, North Lincolnshire Council, South Holland District Council, South Kesteven District Council, West Lindsey District Council.

Questions about garden plots in Lincolnshire
Do you buy garden plots in Lincolnshire?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across Lincolnshire directly, with or without planning permission, always subject to survey, title and contract. We also offer sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion and joint ventures. Which route fits depends on your plot, so the starting point is a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell a plot in Lincolnshire?
Yes, always. Your solicitor checks the contract, deals with the transfer of part at HM Land Registry and asks your mortgage lender to release the plot if the house is mortgaged. On option and promotion agreements we cover your reasonable legal fees, with the cap agreed in heads of terms before work starts.
Which council decides planning for a garden plot in Lincolnshire?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering Lincolnshire include Boston Borough Council, City of Lincoln Council, East Lindsey District Council, North East Lincolnshire Council, North Kesteven District Council and other councils. Each judges applications against its own Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), together with its design guidance. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the council’s questions, but the decision is always the council’s, never ours.
Can you build a new home in my garden in Lincolnshire 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.
