Land sourcing guides

Straight answers to the planning and ownership questions that come up when you source development land in the UK. Written for developers, agents and sourcers, not for search engines.

Section 106 agreements explained

What planning obligations are, how they differ from CIL, and how a Section 106 ask eats into the price you can pay for a site.

Class Q permitted development rights

How agricultural buildings can become homes through prior approval, what the limits are, and where the right does not apply.

What are INSPIRE polygons?

The plot boundaries behind every land sourcing map. What they show, what they leave out, and how to read them.

Grey Belt explained

The new planning category that opens up parts of the Green Belt for development, and what it means for sourcers.

How to find who owns a piece of land

A step-by-step on tracing the owner of any plot in England and Wales, including registered and unregistered land.

Put the theory to work

Landhunt brings planning history, ownership, sold prices and parcel boundaries onto one map, so the research in these guides takes minutes instead of days.
