Planning promotion for garden plots in Hayling Island

If you’d rather find out what the market pays for your Hayling Island garden plot once it has planning than accept a fixed figure today, planning promotion is built for that. We pay to seek permission, an agreed agent markets the plot if it is granted, and you approve the buyer and the terms.

A minimum price agreed at the start means the plot can’t be sold below it without your written consent. Sale costs, our capped planning costs and our fee are deducted on completion, and the balance goes to you through your solicitor. Value depends on the plot’s location, size, access and permission, so we won’t guess a figure before the appraisal.

How it plays out in Hayling Island

Shadow and distance are often why a combined site in Hayling Island works better than a single garden. With the sun at about 39° at noon in late March, the shadow from a 5 m eaves line reaches roughly 6.1 m, so a home squeezed into one narrow garden can end up too close to the houses it backs onto.

Joining gardens with neighbours lets new homes sit towards the middle of a wider site, away from existing windows, with one shared access. Promotion suits that kind of scheme, because planning costs are spread across more land and the site is sold as one well-planned whole. Havant Borough Council still makes the decision.

Noon sun in Hayling Island on 21 March sits about 39° above the horizon, so a typical two-storey eaves line (about 5 m) throws a shadow of roughly 6.1 m. In December the sun is only about 16° up and shadows stretch much further. Drawn for a garden facing north, where it matters most.

From first call to decision

Nothing is signed until you’ve seen the heads of terms and taken advice. Call us or use the form with your Hayling Island address, a rough idea of where the garden runs, and whether neighbours might join in. We’ll check the title, access and planning history first, then tell you plainly whether promotion, a sale subject to planning or another route suits your plot.

  1. Free plot appraisal

    We check your title plan, access, the surrounding gardens and the policies in the council’s Local Plan as a desktop exercise, then talk it through with you. If it looks viable, we visit. No cost and no obligation.

  2. Agreement signed

    Your solicitor and ours turn the heads of terms into a promotion agreement. It’s usually protected by an entry on your title, and if your house is mortgaged, your lender is asked to consent early.

  3. Marketing and sale

    With permission granted, the plot is marketed as the agreement sets out. You see the offers and approve the buyer, and the plot can’t be sold below the minimum price without your written consent.

  4. Completion and payout

    On completion, sale costs, our capped planning costs and our fee come out of the proceeds in the order the agreement sets. The balance is paid to you through your solicitor.

Worth checking early

  • The plot’s price isn’t known until it’s marketed with permission; it depends on location, size, access and the permission itself.
  • On a single small plot, fixed costs and our fee take a bigger share of the sale price than on a larger site.
  • Promotion takes longer than a straight sale: planning, then marketing, then completion, and each stage can run on.

Your questions, answered for Hayling Island

Can neighbours in Hayling Island combine gardens for a planning promotion?

Yes, and promotion often works better that way. Adjoining gardens can share one access and allow a better layout. Each owner keeps their house, signs an agreement setting out how proceeds are shared, and takes advice from their own solicitor. We can appraise the combined land as one site first.

How is a promoted garden plot in Hayling Island sold?

After permission, an agent agreed with you markets the plot to builders, developers and self-builders. You see the offers and approve the buyer. The plot can’t be sold below the agreed minimum price without your written consent, and any offer from us has to stand up against the open market.

Is planning promotion available for a single garden in Hayling Island?

Yes, if the plot is suitable, though promotion is more usual on larger sites. On one modest garden, the fixed costs of planning, legal work and marketing take a bigger share of the sale. After the free appraisal we’ll tell you whether promotion, a sale subject to planning or an option suits your garden best.

Do I pay anything upfront for planning promotion in Hayling Island?

No. We fund the surveys, drawings and planning fees. Those costs are recovered from the sale proceeds, within a cap set in the heads of terms, only if a sale with planning happens. Your reasonable legal fees for the agreement are also covered up to an agreed cap.
