Sell, partner or build in Worcestershire
Your route depends on how much money, time and involvement you want from your garden. A direct sale, subject to survey, title and contract, is the simplest. A conditional sale, option or promotion can reflect more of the value a planning permission adds, with nothing upfront on promotion and reasonable legal fees covered on options. Design and build keeps the land yours. We’ll explain which of these fit your plot in Worcestershire during the free appraisal.

The planning picture in Worcestershire
A strong planning application in Worcestershire usually begins before anything is submitted. Many councils offer pre-application advice, often for a fee, which gives early feedback on a design and flags problems while they’re still cheap to fix. Small schemes are then usually decided by planning officers under delegated powers, and national and council rules set out when, if ever, one goes to a planning committee instead. The councils covering Worcestershire all work within their own Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Our job is a careful, well-evidenced application; the decision is theirs.
Planning authorities: Bromsgrove District Council, Malvern Hills District Council, Redditch Borough Council, Worcester City Council, Wychavon District Council, Wyre Forest District Council.

Questions about garden plots in Worcestershire
How long does planning take for a garden plot in Worcestershire?
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.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell a plot in Worcestershire?
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.
How much is a garden plot in Worcestershire 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 council decides planning for a garden plot in Worcestershire?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering Worcestershire include Bromsgrove District Council, Malvern Hills District Council, Redditch Borough Council, Worcester City Council, Wychavon 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.
