Planning and land rules in Sunbury-on-Thames
Land with no planning permission can still be sold. Around Sunbury-on-Thames, the usual routes in England are a direct sale, an option agreement or a promotion agreement, where the planning work is funded for you and the land is sold once consent is granted. Outline planning permission settles the principle, with reserved matters approved later. Section 106 obligations, the Community Infrastructure Levy where charged and biodiversity net gain all affect what a site is worth, so independent advice matters.
Renting a new home in Sunbury-on-Thames? In England, most private tenancies are now assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date, and since 1 May 2026 landlords can no longer use section 21 no-fault evictions. New-build buyers usually receive a structural warranty and buy through exchange of contracts and completion, paying Stamp Duty Land Tax where it is due. Land to Homes has no homes for sale or rent yet, but you can register your interest.

Questions about Land and homes in Sunbury-on-Thames
What kinds of land do you look at?
Fields and paddocks next to towns and villages, large gardens and backland, infill plots, brownfield and former commercial sites, farmland, and buildings that could convert to homes. Sites need realistic access and planning prospects. If land is too small or too constrained for us, we will say so plainly rather than leave you waiting for an answer.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell land?
Yes. Every landowner should have their own solicitor on a land sale or agreement, and many also use a land agent or chartered surveyor. On option and promotion agreements with Land to Homes, we pay your reasonable legal fees, with the amount agreed up front in the heads of terms before you instruct anyone.
What is planning permission?
Planning permission is consent from the planning authority to carry out development, such as building new homes or changing the use of land. Applications are judged against the local development plan and national policy, which differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Permission can be full, or outline, which is called planning permission in principle in Scotland.
Can Green Belt land be developed?
Green Belt is land around certain towns and cities where policy keeps land open, so new homes are normally resisted unless a local plan releases the land or there are very special circumstances. In England, recent policy changes introduced grey belt land, which can be more acceptable for development in some cases. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own green belt policies.
Is Sunbury-on-Thames an area you cover for land?
Yes, we cover land in Sunbury-on-Thames and elsewhere in Surrey, including Egham, Ewell and Leatherhead. Where a site suits us we can buy it directly, or set up an option or promotion agreement. On promotion there is nothing to pay upfront.
