Allocated and promoted land wanted in Kendal
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Kendal. 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.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Kendal
If your land near Kendal appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Kendal is in Cumbria, about 40 miles south of Carlisle. Nearby places include Ulverston, Morecambe and Lancaster.

- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Nutrient neutrality advice has affected several Cumbrian catchments, including the Eden, the Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake and the River Kent, so drainage solutions matter. The west coast's energy and port economy and the M6 and West Coast Main Line corridor through Penrith and Carlisle shape where most new homes are planned.
What decides whether a site in Kendal works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Cumbria has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Kendal are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 128 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Kendal: common questions
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.
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.
Is Kendal too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 128 miles from Kendal, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Kendal 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.
