Sell, partner or build in Rutland
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 Rutland 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 Rutland
Planning applications in Rutland are decided by the council for your address. The planning authorities covering Rutland include Rutland County Council, and each judges garden schemes against its own Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Officers usually look hardest at access, privacy, daylight, the character of the street and the garden left for the existing house. Many councils use separation guides of around 21 metres between facing back windows, though your council’s own guidance decides. We read those policies for your plot before recommending anything, and the final decision is always the council’s.

Questions about garden plots in Rutland
Do you buy garden plots in Rutland?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across Rutland 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.
Which council decides planning for a garden plot in Rutland?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering Rutland include Rutland County Council. 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.
How much is a garden plot in Rutland 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.
Can you build a new home in my garden in Rutland 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.
