Allocated and promoted land wanted in Bodmin
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Bodmin. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted local plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a call for sites or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Is your land in Bodmin the kind we want?
Around Bodmin, 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. Sitting about 20 miles north-east of Truro, Bodmin is within Cornwall, with St Austell and Newquay close by.
- 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
Cornwall has no Green Belt, but landscape designation is extensive: the Cornwall National Landscape covers large stretches of coast and countryside, alongside the Tamar Valley and Isles of Scilly National Landscapes. Settlements are dispersed, from Truro, Camborne, Redruth and St Austell to many small coastal and inland villages. Sites coming forward are often edge-of-settlement fields, farm buildings, former mining and china clay land, and rural exception sites for local needs.
What usually makes or breaks it
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 188 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Cornwall
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 part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Can an agent introduce land in Bodmin 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Bodmin?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
