What land without planning permission we want near Tiverton
For land on the edges of Tiverton with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. Tiverton is in Devon, about 12 miles north of Exeter. Nearby places include Exeter, Taunton and Exmouth.
- 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
Devon has no Green Belt, but Dartmoor and part of Exmoor National Parks and the East Devon, North Devon, South Devon, Blackdown Hills and Tamar Valley National Landscapes cover a large share of the county. Growth focuses on Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and the market towns, with many villages beyond. Edge-of-town greenfield land, farm buildings and smaller infill plots are the usual sources of new housing sites.
Checks we make on land without planning permission in Tiverton
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Devon has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Tiverton are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tiverton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Devon
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.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Can an agent introduce land in Tiverton to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Tiverton assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
