Allocated and promoted land wanted in Peterborough
If you own allocated and promoted land in or around Peterborough, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
If your land is allocated in a plan, or you have submitted it to a call for sites, the council has already started considering it for development. We can buy allocated land or take it forward through promotion and an application.

Is your land in Peterborough the kind we want?
If your land near Peterborough appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Peterborough is in Cambridgeshire, about 30 miles north-west of Cambridge. Nearby places include Stamford, March and Spalding.
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Water supply and wastewater capacity have been recurring issues for growth around Cambridge, and Fenland sites usually need careful flood risk evidence. Away from the city, small sites on the edges of villages and market towns along the A14, A10 and A1 corridors are a common source of new housing land.
Before we make an offer in Peterborough
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
Some land in Cambridgeshire 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Peterborough ask
My land is in a call for sites. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
Is there an equivalent of a call for sites in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Peterborough?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Peterborough and throughout Cambridgeshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Peterborough 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.
