Allocated and promoted land wanted in Berwick-upon-Tweed
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Berwick-upon-Tweed. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

The reopened Northumberland Line rail service between Ashington, Bedlington, Blyth and Newcastle has made south-east Northumberland a focus for new homes. The coast has internationally protected bird and dune habitats, so coastal schemes often contribute to recreation mitigation, and coal mining legacy checks are common inland.
Before we make an offer in Berwick-upon-Tweed
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.
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.

Frequently asked in Northumberland
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 223 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
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.
