Wanted in Halewood

Development land wanted in Halewood

Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Halewood and the villages nearby.

Sitting about 7 miles south-east of Liverpool, Halewood is within Merseyside, with Huyton and Widnes close by. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 68 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Regeneration areas along the Liverpool and Birkenhead waterfronts, and around Merseyrail stations, are a focus for higher-density homes. The coast from Southport to the Wirral includes internationally protected dunes and estuary habitats, so coastal schemes often need habitats assessment and recreation mitigation.

National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.

Some land in Merseyside is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
