Is your land in Stamford the kind we want?
We are interested in land around Stamford at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Stamford is in Lincolnshire, about 40 miles south of Lincoln. Nearby places include Oakham, Uppingham and Peterborough.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
Lincolnshire, as used here, includes the Humber towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes as well as Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Stamford and Skegness. There is no Green Belt, but the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape covers part of the county and much of the south and east lies in low-lying fenland and coastal marsh at high flood risk. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land.
What decides whether a site in Stamford works
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.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 60 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My land is in a call for sites. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
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 Stamford too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 60 miles from Stamford, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Stamford?
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.
