What land without planning permission we want near Saltash
Near Saltash, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Sitting about 38 miles east of Truro, Saltash is within Cornwall, with Plymouth and Bodmin close by.
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
- Land of any size, including single plots
Second-home and holiday-let pressure has led to principal residence policies in some Cornish neighbourhood plans, and nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Camel catchment. Former mining land around Camborne and Redruth needs mining risk checks, while the A30 corridor towns attract more mainstream housing growth.
What decides whether a site in Saltash works
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
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.
Cornwall has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Saltash are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 178 miles from Saltash, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Land without planning permission in Saltash: common questions
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
What if planning is refused?
That depends on the deal. Under a conditional contract we can usually decide whether to appeal, re-apply or walk away; if we walk away you keep your land.
Is Saltash too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 178 miles from Saltash, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Saltash?
As Saltash 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.
