Land with planning permission wanted in Tiverton
We are actively looking for land with planning permission in Tiverton and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Land with planning permission is a site where the council has already granted consent for new homes, either in outline or in full. We buy consented sites across England and Wales, including those where the owner does not want to build out the scheme.

Is your land in Tiverton the kind we want?
For consented land around Tiverton, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Tiverton lies about 12 miles north of Exeter in Devon. We also cover Exeter, Taunton, Exmouth and the villages between them.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
Devon has no Green Belt, but Dartmoor and part of Exmoor National Parks and the East Devon, North Devon, South Devon, Blackdown Hills and Tamar Valley National Landscapes cover a large share of the county. Growth focuses on Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and the market towns, with many villages beyond. Edge-of-town greenfield land, farm buildings and smaller infill plots are the usual sources of new housing sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Devon has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Tiverton are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 132 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Tiverton ask
Do I need to discharge the conditions before selling?
No. Many sites are sold with conditions still outstanding. We look at what is left to do and allow for it.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Tiverton?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Tiverton?
As Tiverton 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.
