Planning in Nottingham: the English rules
In England, affordable housing on market developments in Nottingham is normally secured through a Section 106 agreement, which sets the number, tenure and transfer of homes to a registered provider. Grant from Homes England can add further homes, and the 2026 to 2036 programme expects at least 60% of funded homes to be Social Rent. Land to Homes can supply land, design and build homes, or deliver completed homes for councils and housing associations.
In England, land purchases usually attract Stamp Duty Land Tax, and lenders take a legal charge registered at HM Land Registry. Scheme appraisals must allow for Section 106 obligations, the Community Infrastructure Levy where charged, and biodiversity net gain. Homes England is the government's housing and regeneration agency and runs public funding programmes for housing.

Funding and Investment Partners in Nottingham: questions
Do public bodies fund housing development?
Public bodies support housing delivery in each nation, for example Homes England, the government's housing and regeneration agency in England, and the Development Bank of Wales, which offers property development lending. Grant for affordable housing usually goes to councils and registered providers rather than developers. We describe these bodies for context; each has its own criteria.
How is forward purchase different from forward funding?
With forward funding, the investor pays for the land and construction as the scheme is built. With forward purchase, the investor commits to buy the completed homes, but the developer arranges construction finance in the meantime. The choice affects risk, cost and timing for both parties, so each takes its own advice before agreeing terms.
Is anything on this site regulated investment advice?
No. Land to Homes does not give investment, financial, tax or legal advice, and nothing on this site is an offer, invitation or recommendation to invest. Funding discussions take place privately with lenders and professional parties, who rely on their own advisers and due diligence. If you are unsure about any investment, speak to an independent regulated adviser.
What information do funding partners usually review?
Partners usually review the site title, the planning position, the scheme appraisal, the build programme, the construction approach, the plan for selling or letting the homes and the developer's background. Each carries out its own due diligence, often with valuers, monitoring surveyors and solicitors. We share site-specific information under confidentiality where appropriate.
Do you work with partners on schemes in Nottingham?
Yes. We discuss schemes in Nottingham and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire, including Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Retford and Arnold privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
