All plots on our platform are clearly marked with their planning status. We categorize them as:

• Full Planning Permission: Ready to build immediately
• Outline Permission: Principle of development approved, detailed plans needed
• Pre-Planning: No permission yet, but we provide guidance

Our team verifies all planning information with local authorities and provides you with official documentation before purchase.
