Allocated and promoted land wanted in Wallasey
Looking to sell allocated and promoted land near Wallasey? 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 Wallasey
Around Wallasey, 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. Wallasey lies about 4 miles west of Liverpool in Merseyside. We also cover Moreton, Birkenhead, Bootle and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
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.
Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Wallasey
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 77 miles from Wallasey, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Merseyside
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.
Is Wallasey too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 77 miles from Wallasey, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Wallasey assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
