Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Ellesmere Port
We are interested in land around Ellesmere Port at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Ellesmere Port is in Cheshire, about 6 miles north of Chester. Nearby places include Chester, Neston and Halewood.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Cheshire's eastern edge rises into the Peak District National Park, and the Dee and Mersey estuaries bring flood and habitat considerations. Former industrial and chemical land around Northwich, Winsford and Runcorn, and village sites near stations on the Crewe and Manchester lines, are typical development opportunities.
Before we make an offer in Ellesmere Port
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.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 65 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Ellesmere Port ask
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.
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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Ellesmere Port?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Ellesmere Port and throughout Cheshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Ellesmere Port too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 65 miles from Ellesmere Port, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
