Jenny McIntee has gained planning permission for hundreds of clients’ gardens to be developed since 2008. If you live in a sustainable village or town (or a small settlement where planning policy will allow infill or windfall development) or even just outside of a settlement boundary, then it may be possible to create additional homes on your land. Gaining planning permission and either selling the site to a self-builder or developer will release the money buried in your land.
Currently if you sell part of your principal private residence, including the garden of your principal residence, this is exempt from capital gains tax making this a great opportunity to generate some extra money.
