The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Christchurch

Dorset combines the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation with market towns such as Dorchester, Wimborne Minster and Ferndown and a large rural area. Green Belt surrounds the conurbation and extends inland, and the Dorset and Cranborne Chase National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Typical sites include urban brownfield land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and infill plots in villages.
Before we make an offer in Christchurch
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.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 125 miles from Christchurch, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Christchurch: 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.
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 Christchurch 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 Christchurch?
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.
