Allocated and promoted land wanted in Ross-on-Wye
Looking to sell allocated and promoted land near Ross-on-Wye? We assess every site on its merits and explain the options in plain English.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted local plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a call for sites or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Is your land in Ross-on-Wye the kind we want?
We are interested in land around Ross-on-Wye at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Sitting about 12 miles south-east of Hereford, Ross-on-Wye is within Herefordshire, with Ledbury and Hereford close by.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
Most new homes are planned around Hereford and the market towns, with smaller numbers in villages through neighbourhood plans. Typical opportunities include edge-of-village paddocks, redundant farm buildings, infill plots and former commercial land, with flood risk along the Wye and Lugg valleys a frequent consideration.
What decides whether a site in Ross-on-Wye works
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.
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.
Herefordshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Ross-on-Wye are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 52 miles from Ross-on-Wye, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
