I own some land 50/50 in common tenancy with my brother. I want to sell my half, he doesn't. What can I do?

I own a piece of land with my brother, each of us has 50% held under common tenancy. I wish to build a house and get rid of my half, he wants to hang on to his. Anyone know what I can do? I can't find anything specific to land, they all talk about wills and houses re common tenancy. None of it applies to this situation. I am really worried he may be able to hold me to ransom. He is wealthy, I am not! I really need to cash this assset in and build a house on it. The land can be split up right down the middle and it would be big enough for me to do this.
