To find out if an area of land is owned by the council or if you're looking for a garage, garden or grazing plot.
Apply to purchase, lease or rent council land
In some circumstances, you may be able to purchase land from us.
This is a discretionary process. We do not have a legal obligation to sell land in this way. Council officers will use their professional judgement and experience to decide whether to sell or lease a plot of land.
