Development land wanted in Walthamstow
Own land in Walthamstow that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.
Walthamstow is in Greater London, about 7 miles north-east of central London. Nearby places include Chingford, Ilford and Barking. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Parts of Greater London are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
