The East Coast Main Line and A1(M) run north to south through the area, linking Darlington and Durham with Newcastle. Much of the county is former coalfield, so mining risk checks are routine, and nutrient neutrality advice has applied in parts of the Tees catchment draining to Teesmouth.

Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.

Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 142 miles from Stockton-on-Tees, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in County Durham
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Stockton-on-Tees?
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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Stockton-on-Tees assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
