Allocated and promoted land wanted in Blyth
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Blyth. 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 Blyth the kind we want?
Around Blyth, 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. Blyth is in Northumberland, about 8 miles east of Morpeth. Nearby places include Bedlington, Ashington and Cramlington.
- 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
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.
What decides whether a site in Blyth works
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.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 179 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Blyth ask
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.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Blyth?
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 Blyth assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
