The value of land is influenced by several factors, including location, accessibility, infrastructure and economic conditions.

However, one of the most significant drivers of land value is the granting of planning permission for development.

Once planning permission is granted, the land is a viable site for future development, this transformation increases its usability and consequently its market value.

Obtaining planning permission is a time-consuming and uncertain process, so developers and housebuilder prefer to acquire land where this hurdle has already been overcome. 

Without planning permission, a buyer cannot be sure if they will be able to develop the site. 

Gaining planning approval eliminates this uncertainty, making the land a more secure and desirable investment, which in turn boosts its value.

Additionally, local economies may benefit from new housing developments, further reinforcing the value of the land.

Planning Permission Is A Crucial Factor 

Planning permission is a crucial factor that significantly increases the value of land. By removing uncertainty, attracting developers/housebuilders, and increasing the potential for profitable development, land with approved planning permission is highly sought-after.

For landowners, securing planning permission before selling can result in substantial financial gains, while for developers, acquiring permitted land ensures a smoother path to constructing much-needed housing.
