Is your land in Erith the kind we want?
We are interested in land around Erith at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. In Greater London, Erith sits about 13 miles east of central London; Rainham and Dartford are its nearest neighbours on our list.

- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- 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.
Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Erith
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 115 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Erith: common questions
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.
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 Erith too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 115 miles from Erith, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Erith assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
