What land without planning permission we want near Chapeltown
For land on the edges of Chapeltown with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. In South Yorkshire, Chapeltown sits about 6 miles north of Sheffield; Hoyland and Wombwell 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
- Land of any size, including single plots
Most of the area lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk assessments are common, and flood risk from the Don, Dearne and Rother affects low-lying sites around Doncaster and Rotherham. The M1 and M18 corridors, Supertram and the rail network influence where higher-density homes are supported.
Checks we make on land without planning permission in Chapeltown
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.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Some land in South Yorkshire 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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 66 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land 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.
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.

Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Chapeltown and throughout South Yorkshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Chapeltown 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.
