Is your land in Flitwick the kind we want?
For consented land around Flitwick, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Sitting about 9 miles south of Bedford, Flitwick is within Bedfordshire, with Ampthill and Kempston close by.
- Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
The M1, A1, Midland Main Line and East Coast Main Line all run through Bedfordshire, and planning policy in England now gives extra weight to well-connected locations near stations. Villages along these corridors, and older commercial sites in Luton, Bedford and Dunstable, are typical places where smaller housing sites emerge.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Flitwick
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
Planning obligations
Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 71 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Flitwick ask
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Will the Section 106 obligations transfer to the buyer?
Planning obligations usually run with the land, so they bind whoever owns it. We review them as part of our due diligence.
Can an agent introduce land in Flitwick to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Flitwick assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
