Land without planning permission we are looking for in Blaydon
Near Blaydon, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Blaydon is in Tyne and Wear, about 4 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne. Nearby places include Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Prudhoe.
- 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 where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
Tyne and Wear centres on Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Sunderland, with South Shields, North Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Washington and Jarrow. Green Belt surrounds the conurbation and separates its towns, so most housing comes from previously developed land, former shipyard and industrial sites, and town-centre regeneration. Grey belt and small fringe sites around villages can also come forward.
What usually makes or breaks it
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
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.
Parts of Tyne and Wear 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 167 miles from Blaydon, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
