What allocated and promoted land we want near Luton
If your land near Luton appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Luton lies about 18 miles south of Bedford in Bedfordshire. We also cover Dunstable, Harpenden, Hitchin and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
The M1, A1, Midland Main Line and East Coast Main Line all run through Bedfordshire, and planning policy in England now gives extra weight to well-connected locations near stations. Villages along these corridors, and older commercial sites in Luton, Bedford and Dunstable, are typical places where smaller housing sites emerge.
Before we make an offer in Luton
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 78 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.
