Allocated and promoted land wanted in Northampton
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Northampton. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If your land is allocated in a plan, or you have submitted it to a call for sites, the council has already started considering it for development. We can buy allocated land or take it forward through promotion and an application.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Northampton
We are interested in land around Northampton at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire. Nearby places we also cover include Wellingborough, Daventry and Rushden.
- 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
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Northamptonshire is centred on Northampton, with Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry and Brackley and many villages in between. There is no Green Belt and no National Park or National Landscape in the county, so constraints are mostly local: flood risk in the Nene valley, landscape and heritage. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, urban extensions, farm buildings and village infill, plus former industrial land in the towns.
Before we make an offer in Northampton
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.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 48 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across 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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Northampton?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Northampton and throughout Northamptonshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Northampton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 48 miles from Northampton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
