Land with planning permission wanted in Newport
We want to hear from owners of land with planning permission in Newport. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 Newport the kind we want?
If you hold a consent in or near Newport, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view. Newport is the county town of the Isle of Wight. Nearby places we also cover include East Cowes, Cowes and Ryde.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
The Isle of Wight has no Green Belt, but the Isle of Wight National Landscape covers much of the coast and downland. Housing is concentrated around Newport, Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin, with many villages elsewhere. Typical sites are edge-of-town fields, infill plots, former holiday or commercial premises and farm buildings, with coastal change and ground instability relevant on parts of the coast.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Newport
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
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.
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.
The Isle of Wight has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Newport are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 130 miles from Newport, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you buy land with planning permission in Newport?
Yes. We buy land with planning permission in Newport and throughout the Isle of Wight, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Which planning rules apply to land in Newport?
As Newport 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.
