The land with planning permission that interests us around East Molesey
We are interested in sites with planning across the East Molesey area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. East Molesey is in Surrey, about 15 miles north-east of Guildford. Nearby places include West Molesey, Esher and Kingston upon Thames.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- 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
Heathland protection in the west of the county means many schemes contribute to mitigation for the Thames Basin Heaths, and flood risk from the Thames and Mole affects riverside towns. Stations on the lines into Waterloo and Victoria matter, as English planning policy now gives weight to locations near well-connected stations.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 103 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in East Molesey 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.
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 East Molesey too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 103 miles from East Molesey, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in East Molesey assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
