Wanted in Nuneaton

Development land wanted in Nuneaton

We are looking for development land in and around Nuneaton: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.

Nuneaton is in Warwickshire, about 17 miles north of Warwick. Nearby places include Bedworth, Hinckley and Atherstone. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 19 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.

Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.

Some land in Warwickshire 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.

Land we want in Nuneaton

Edge-of-town meadow with timber survey stakes and orange marker pegs, houses along the far boundary

Residential development land

Around Nuneaton, the residential land that tends to work is close to existing homes, shops and transport rather than out on its own.

Vacant fenced development plot with a council planning notice tied to a lamp post and terraced houses beyond

Land with planning permission

We are interested in sites with planning across the Nuneaton area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over.

Land without planning permission

Plenty of land around Nuneaton has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place.

Cleared former industrial yard with cracked concrete, a palisade fence and an old brick warehouse wall

Brownfield land

Former works, depots and yards in and around Nuneaton can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood.

Overgrown empty plot between two Edwardian semi-detached houses on a suburban street

Infill plots

Infill gaps in Nuneaton's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours.

Long rear gardens behind 1930s semi-detached houses with a gravel access lane along the bottom

Garden and backland plots

Around Nuneaton, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together.

Horse paddock with post-and-rail fencing and a field gate on the edge of a village at evening

Farmland and paddocks

Around Nuneaton, paddocks and fields beside existing homes can have real potential, even where they have been grazed or farmed for generations.

Strategic land

Larger landholdings on the approaches to Nuneaton are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links.

Corner plot of rough grass at a suburban road junction with houses along both roads

Small sites

In Nuneaton, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood.

Vacant single-storey industrial units with grey roller shutters and an empty tarmac forecourt

Commercial and industrial sites

In Nuneaton, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land.

Disused two-storey 1960s brick office building with an empty weed-cracked car park among houses

Redundant buildings

Across Nuneaton, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up.

Barns and rural buildings

In the countryside around Nuneaton, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available.

Garage courts and yards

We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Nuneaton, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty.

Overgrown fenced plot with brambles and saplings behind a weathered hoarding between houses

Sites with lapsed or refused planning

We read the planning history of sites across Nuneaton closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix.

Allocated and promoted land

Around Nuneaton, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage.

Questions owners in Nuneaton ask

Is Nuneaton too far from our Birmingham base?

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 19 miles from Nuneaton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.

Can an agent introduce land in Nuneaton to you?

Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.

Which planning rules apply to land in Nuneaton?

As Nuneaton is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.

How long does a sale take?

It depends on the route. An outright purchase of land with planning can move relatively quickly; land that needs planning permission takes longer. We are honest about timing for each site.

Got land that could take new homes?

Free, no-obligation site appraisal. We buy directly, with or without planning.
