If you got outline permission it should make it significantly easier to sell - as it means that whoever sees it knows that they are guaranteed something on the site. The fact that it is easier to sell would tend to increase the price somewhat.

I would question your ability to get it though - if someone who could say "I need to live in the area as my parents are in wheelchairs, my dog is sick and I work in the area" etc., it makes it easier to obtain permission. "I'd like permission so I can sell the land" doesn't have quite the same ring.

You also make it more difficult to get a future permission if you get a refusal.

On balance therefore the cost of making an outline application without a proposed buyer vs. likelihood of increasing the value of a property is generally not very good.
Though you might like to talk to your local Planner - this would be both free and would not leave a permanent mark on your property's "record".
