Future Development Search

Will the area around a property change?

Oxlow helps buyers and solicitors understand the longer-term development indicators around a property before exchange.

“Don’t get caught out by hidden plans.”

Useful for buyers concerned about fields, open outlooks, nearby land, traffic and the future character of an area.

Search areas

  • Local plan and draft local plan allocations.
  • Strategic housing land availability and call-for-sites evidence.
  • Major and relevant nearby planning applications.
  • Five-year land supply and housing delivery pressure.
  • Constraints affecting land release and development potential.
Can a search predict every future development?

No search can guarantee what will or will not be built. Oxlow uses available planning and land indicators to provide a clearer view of relevant risk signals before a buyer commits.

What kind of future development is reviewed?

The search can consider local plan allocations, SHLAA or call-for-sites entries, major planning applications, housing supply pressure, constraints and other relevant public planning information.
