The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Southport

Regeneration areas along the Liverpool and Birkenhead waterfronts, and around Merseyrail stations, are a focus for higher-density homes. The coast from Southport to the Wirral includes internationally protected dunes and estuary habitats, so coastal schemes often need habitats assessment and recreation mitigation.
Before we make an offer in Southport
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.
Some land in Merseyside is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 89 miles from Southport, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Merseyside
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.
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 Southport too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 89 miles from Southport, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Southport to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
