Why buy land in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire is arable country: 45% of its 96,886 farmed hectares are cereals, on 742 commercial holdings. Expect big open fields, contractors and grain stores close by. Smaller grass parcels come up less often here, which is a reason to register before one does.
The Chilterns National Landscape protects a large part of Hertfordshire, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care.
52% of Hertfordshire is Green Belt, which keeps the countryside around its towns open. New homes there need special circumstances, so check the designation on any plot before you count on planning.
Planning is decided by 10 councils in Hertfordshire, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
