Allocated and promoted land wanted in Mountsorrel
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Mountsorrel. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If your land is allocated in a plan, or you have submitted it to a call for sites, the council has already started considering it for development. We can buy allocated land or take it forward through promotion and an application.

Is your land in Mountsorrel the kind we want?
Around Mountsorrel, 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. Mountsorrel lies about 5 miles north of Leicester in Leicestershire. We also cover Loughborough, Leicester, Oadby and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Mountsorrel
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.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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 34 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
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.

Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Mountsorrel and throughout Leicestershire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Mountsorrel assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
