Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Whitstable
Around Whitstable, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage. Sitting about 23 miles east of Maidstone, Whitstable is within Kent, with Herne Bay and Canterbury close by.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Kent ranges from the Medway towns, Dartford and Gravesend on the Thames to Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal towns of Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Dover. West Kent is largely Metropolitan Green Belt, while the Kent Downs and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, orchards and farmland, farm buildings, infill plots and brownfield land in the towns.
What decides whether a site in Whitstable 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.
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 149 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
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 Whitstable too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 149 miles from Whitstable, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Whitstable?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
