What garden and backland plots we want near Moreton
Backland development in Moreton turns on access and privacy; we look at both before suggesting whether an application is worth making. Sitting about 6 miles west of Liverpool, Moreton is within Merseyside, with Wallasey and Birkenhead close by.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Sites with or without previous applications
Merseyside centres on Liverpool, with Birkenhead and Wallasey across the Mersey, Southport and Formby on the coast, and towns such as St Helens, Bootle, Huyton and Kirkby. Green Belt separates many of these places and covers much of the remaining open land, so most housing comes from previously developed land, docks, former industrial estates and town-centre sites. Grey belt and small fringe sites can also come forward.
What decides whether a site in Moreton works
Local garden policy
Some councils resist garden development; others support it where character is respected.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
Mortgage consent
If your home is mortgaged, the lender will usually need to release the garden land.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 77 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Merseyside
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
Do I pay tax on selling garden land?
Tax depends on your circumstances, including how much land you have and how it has been used. Speak to a tax adviser before you agree terms.
Is Moreton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 77 miles from Moreton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Moreton?
As Moreton is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
