The land without planning permission that interests us around Hedge End
For land on the edges of Hedge End with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. Sitting about 11 miles south of Winchester, Hedge End is within Hampshire, with Eastleigh and Southampton close by.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Land of any size, including single plots
Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
What decides whether a site in Hedge End 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.
Parts of Hampshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 116 miles from Hedge End, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Is Hedge End too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles from Hedge End, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Hedge End assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
