Land with planning permission wanted in Denton
If you own land with planning permission in or around Denton, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Planning permission turns land into a development site with a defined scheme. We are buyers for consented land of all sizes, from a single approved plot to larger outline permissions, and we review the conditions and legal agreements in detail before making an offer.

Is your land in Denton the kind we want?
We are interested in sites with planning across the Denton area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. Denton lies about 5 miles east of Manchester in Greater Manchester. We also cover Hyde, Dukinfield, Ashton-under-Lyne and the villages between them.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- 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
Most of the city-region is covered by a joint strategic plan, and Metrolink and rail corridors are a focus for higher-density homes. The eastern edge around Saddleworth includes part of the Peak District National Park, where landscape is a significant constraint on development.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Denton
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Planning obligations
Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 63 miles from Denton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 you buy if the approved scheme is not one you would build?
Yes. Sometimes we buy on the basis of the existing permission and then seek changes through a new or amended application.
Is Denton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 63 miles from Denton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Denton assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
