Allocated and promoted land wanted in Wigston
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Wigston 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.

What allocated and promoted land we want near Wigston
Around Wigston, 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. In Leicestershire, Wigston sits about 4 miles south-east of Leicester; Oadby and Leicester are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Leicestershire surrounds the city of Leicester and includes Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, plus many villages. There is no Green Belt, although local plans use green wedges and areas of separation to keep settlements apart. Typical sites include edge-of-town and village fields, farm buildings, infill plots and former industrial land around Coalville and the north-west of the county.
Before we make an offer in Wigston
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 34 miles from Wigston, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
