Allocated and promoted land wanted in Grantham
Looking to sell allocated and promoted land near Grantham? 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.

What allocated and promoted land we want near Grantham
Around Grantham, 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. Grantham is in Lincolnshire, about 22 miles south of Lincoln. Nearby places include Sleaford, Newark-on-Trent and Melton Mowbray.

- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
What decides whether a site in Grantham 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 59 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
