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.
Before we make an offer in Dagenham
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Parts of Greater London are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 112 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Dagenham ask
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.
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.
Is Dagenham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 112 miles from Dagenham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Dagenham 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.
