Introduction
Many UK landowners don’t realise that the true value of their land is often locked behind planning permission. Whether you’re sitting on greenbelt land near a growing town or a disused industrial site, the right permission can dramatically increase your land’s worth.
What is Planning Permission?
In the UK, planning permission is required for most forms of development. This legal approval allows you to change the land’s use—residential, commercial, or mixed-use—and is often the difference between land selling for a modest price or commanding premium offers from developers.
The Value Uplift Explained
A piece of land without permission may sell for its existing use—say, agriculture. But once outline or full planning permission is granted, the same land could be worth two, three, or even five times more. Developers are willing to pay a premium for “permissioned” land where the path to construction is clear.
Why It’s Worth the Effort
Getting planning approval may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right team handling research, community engagement, planning strategy, and paperwork, you can benefit without lifting a finger.
