Allocated and promoted land wanted in Wellingborough
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Wellingborough. 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.

Is your land in Wellingborough the kind we want?
Around Wellingborough, 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. In Northamptonshire, Wellingborough sits about 9 miles north-east of Northampton; Rushden and Kettering are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
The M1, A14 and A43 corridors, and the Midland Main Line through Kettering, Wellingborough and Corby, focus much of the area's growth. Protected wetland bird habitats in the Nene valley gravel pits mean some schemes near the river contribute to recreational mitigation.
Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Wellingborough
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 54 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.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Wellingborough?
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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Wellingborough assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
