Allocated and promoted land wanted in Grimsby
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Grimsby. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 allocated and promoted land that interests us around Grimsby
Around Grimsby, 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 30 miles north-east of Lincoln, Grimsby is within Lincolnshire, with Cleethorpes and Hedon close by.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Grimsby
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.
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 104 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Grimsby: common questions
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.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Grimsby?
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Grimsby?
As Grimsby is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
