What are your options?
Unconditional agreement
The simplest form of agreement.
A developer will buy your land for an agreed price and the only condition of sale is vacant possession.
Subject to planning
This agreement means that the developer is contractually bound to buy your land, subject to the grant of planning permission for residential development.
The developer will fund and undertake work to achieve planning permission.
Option agreement
Under an option agreement, you typically give the developer the right to buy your land within a specific timeframe (up to 10 years on average).
In return, the developer pursues planning permission on your behalf.
Promotion agreement
A promotion agreement is similar to an option agreement, except that the developer does not purchase your land at the end of the process.
The site is sold and proceeds are divided between yourself and the developer.
Our funding and governance
This Land’s sole shareholder is Cambridgeshire County Council. As an arms-length shareholder, our board is independent and our board members come from diverse backgrounds including property, finance, politics and other sectors.
