Refused planning applications in the Green Belt

The Grey Belt represents one of the most interesting and untapped opportunities in the property market today. With recent shifts in policy announced by the new Labour government and plans to develop 1.5 million new homes, the Green Belt planning designation is now coming under sharper focus. 

Whats' changed and why are refused applications in the Green Belt interesting?

Sites in the Green Belt have traditionally been very challenging to get consents for new residential units on and hence usually get refused. The new announcements however mark a change in planning policy for these sites whereby applications on previously developed land and land that doesn't affect the overall nature of the Green Belt should now be supported.

This means that many sites in the Green Belt that historically received planning refusals could now get a consent. As such these sites now present huge opportunity for redevelopment, what's more, the owners are unlikely to understand the new development potential of their sites given the previous refusal(s).
