Land with planning permission wanted in Jarrow
We want to hear from owners of land with planning permission in Jarrow. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A site with planning permission already has the council's approval for development, so much of the planning risk has gone. If you have consent but no plans to build, or the permission is approaching its time limit, we would like to hear from you.

Land with planning permission we are looking for in Jarrow
If you hold a consent in or near Jarrow, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view. Jarrow is in Tyne and Wear, about 5 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne. Nearby places include Hebburn, South Shields and North Shields.
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
The Tyne and Wear Metro and the East Coast Main Line are a focus for higher-density homes, and riverside regeneration continues along the Tyne and the Wear. The coast is internationally protected for birds, so schemes near the shore often contribute to recreation mitigation, and coal mining legacy checks are common inland.
Before we make an offer in Jarrow
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 169 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Land with planning permission in Jarrow: common questions
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 Jarrow?
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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Jarrow assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
