The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Barking
If your land near Barking appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Barking lies about 9 miles east of central London in Greater London. We also cover Ilford, Dagenham, Rainham and the villages between them.
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment

- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.

Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 110 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Barking and throughout Greater London, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Which planning rules apply to land in Barking?
As Barking is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
