If you’ve ever looked out at a piece of land and wondered, could I build something here?, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve inherited a plot, bought a home with a generous garden, or simply have your eye on a field at the edge of a village, understanding the planning potential of land in England can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we’ve created a free, no-obligation online tool that gives you an instant planning assessment for your site. You don’t need to speak to a consultant, make a payment, or know any planning jargon. Just pop in the details of your land and get a clear, easy-to-understand overview of its potential — right away.
What does the tool check for?
Our tool gives you an instant read on some of the biggest questions that come up when you’re thinking about development:
- Is the site within a settlement boundary?
- Are there environmental constraints like AONB designations?
- What does local and national planning policy say about development here?
- Is the access likely to be acceptable?
- Are there any early signs the land could be considered sustainable?
It’s based on a real-world understanding of how planners think, using planning history, current policies, and case law from similar applications across the country.
Who is it for?
We designed the tool for anyone who wants to understand the planning potential of a site — whether you’re a homeowner, landowner, architect, developer, or simply curious.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
Many people use the tool thinking about selling their land to a developer. But they often discover that there’s another option: self-build.
What if you could become the developer?
Instead of selling land to someone else to develop, what if you could open it up for individual self-build homes? These are homes built by the people who will live in them — often with the help of architects and contractors, but always with care and personal investment.
Self-build plots can:
- Add more value to your land than a single house or a sale to a volume housebuilder.
- Avoid the risk and complexity of a full development.
- Offer flexibility: you can sell plots one by one, or all at once.
- Deliver homes that people love — with beautiful, well-designed houses that are rooted in their setting.
We’ve helped dozens of landowners go from “could I get planning?” to seeing people move into homes they built for themselves. And it all starts with that first assessment.
