Land without planning permission wanted in Bexley
We want to hear from owners of land without planning permission in Bexley. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If your land has never had planning permission, it can still be development land. We check whether housing is credible under current policy and, where it is, propose a deal that shares out the planning risk fairly.

Land without planning permission we are looking for in Bexley
Plenty of land around Bexley has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place. In Greater London, Bexley sits about 13 miles east of central London; Sidcup and Dartford are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- 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
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
Before we make an offer in Bexley
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
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.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
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.
Some land in Greater London is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Bexley ask
Can I keep using the land while planning is sought?
Usually, yes. Farming, grazing or other current uses can generally continue until completion, subject to what we agree.
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.
Is Bexley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles from Bexley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Bexley?
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.
