Allocated and promoted land wanted in Sandown
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Sandown and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

The Isle of Wight has no Green Belt, but the Isle of Wight National Landscape covers much of the coast and downland. Housing is concentrated around Newport, Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin, with many villages elsewhere. Typical sites are edge-of-town fields, infill plots, former holiday or commercial premises and farm buildings, with coastal change and ground instability relevant on parts of the coast.
Before we make an offer in Sandown
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 135 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Sandown 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.
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.
Is Sandown too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 135 miles from Sandown, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Sandown 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.
