Land by postcode · UB area · Southall
Southall covers two postcode districts, UB1 and UB2, in Greater London. Planning applications here are decided mostly by the Ealing planning authority, with Hounslow covering the rest. Below: what homes sold for, which planning controls apply, and what that means before you sell or develop a plot in Southall.
Residential sales recorded by HM Land Registry between 2024-08 and 2026-07 across both of Southall's postcode districts. This is market context for the town, not a land valuation: what a plot is worth depends on what can be built on it, which these figures do not show.

New-build sales 2023–2024: 106 of 506 (21%). A rough proxy for recent building activity: these are homes sold by builders, not development sites.
For each designation on the planning.data.gov.uk register, the share of the 1,147 live postcodes in Southall's two districts whose centroid falls inside it. This measures postcodes, not land area, and says nothing about any individual plot.

5 separate directions recorded, each removing particular permitted development rights within a defined area. The largest named one is the Dwellinghouses (C3) to small HMOs (C4) - borough-wide Article 4 Direction.
No postcodes in Southall's two districts fall inside: National Landscape (AONB), National Park.
Flood zones, tree preservation orders, local plan allocations, settlement boundaries and non-designated heritage are not included here and are checked in a full assessment.
1% of postcodes in Southall are inside the Green Belt, so Southall has land both inside and outside it. Which side of the boundary a plot sits on determines whether the Green Belt tests apply to it at all.
These are town-level facts. The free assessment checks your actual boundary against the same registers and the local plan and tells you plainly what they mean for your plot.

Decided planning applications (not extensions, conditions or tree works) from the councils' own registers, summed across the 2 of 2 postcode districts in Southall that carry them, classified by the wording of each proposal. Counts, not estimates; within a district, a class with fewer than three applications is not counted.
Southall's two districts are split between planning authorities: Ealing (91% of sampled postcodes), Hounslow (8%).

It depends on where the plot sits, not on the town average. Across Southall, 1% of postcodes are in the Green Belt and 3% in a conservation area. on Green Belt or National Landscape plots a new home is the exception and needs a specific case, and a replacement dwelling, a conversion or a modest extension is usually the realistic route. Outside those designations the questions that decide it are whether the plot is inside or adjoining the settlement boundary in the local plan, whether it has its own road access, and what is next to it.
Often, yes. 8% of postcodes in Southall are under an Article 4 direction (5 separate directions), which withdraws particular permitted development rights, so an outbuilding, extension or change of use that is automatic elsewhere needs an application there. Outside those areas, permitted development applies to houses and their gardens but not to agricultural land or paddocks, where a new building or a new use normally needs permission or prior approval.
Developers look at three things before they talk about price: whether the plot is outside the Green Belt and any National Landscape, whether it sits inside or beside the settlement boundary, and what finished homes sell for. In Southall the median sale is £460,000, from £430,000 in UB2 to £490,000 in UB1, and 21% of 2023–2024 sales were new-build homes, so builders are active here. A single plot usually goes to a local builder or a self-builder; a site for five or more homes attracts regional housebuilders, normally through an option or a conditional contract rather than an outright purchase, so the price you see quoted is not the price you receive.
There is no town figure for land, because a plot's value comes from what can be built on it, not from where it is. As a guide, a serviced plot with consent for one house commonly sells for around a third of the finished house value, which in Southall would be measured against a £460,000 median sale. The same plot without consent, or inside the Green Belt, is worth a small fraction of that, and a paddock with no realistic route to consent is worth agricultural or amenity value only. The free check tells you which of those your plot is before you talk to anyone about a price.
