The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Newport Pagnell
Around Newport Pagnell, paddocks and fields beside existing homes can have real potential, even where they have been grazed or farmed for generations. Newport Pagnell is in Buckinghamshire, about 19 miles north of Aylesbury. Nearby places include Milton Keynes, Bletchley and Kempston.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Buckinghamshire runs from Milton Keynes in the north, through Aylesbury and the Vale, to High Wycombe, Amersham and the Chiltern towns in the south. The southern half is largely Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it lies in the Chilterns National Landscape, so sites there tend to be small, infill or previously developed. The north and the Aylesbury area see more edge-of-town greenfield land, farmland and strategic sites promoted through plan-making.
What decides whether a site in Newport Pagnell works
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Parts of Buckinghamshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 59 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
