Allocated and promoted land wanted in Hexham
Development Land Wanted buys allocated and promoted land in Hexham and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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 Hexham the kind we want?
Around Hexham, 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. Hexham lies about 21 miles south-west of Morpeth in Northumberland. We also cover Prudhoe, Consett, Blaydon and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Northumberland's population is concentrated in the south-east, around Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington, Bedlington and Morpeth, with market towns such as Hexham and Berwick-upon-Tweed and many remote villages. Green Belt extends from the Tyne and Wear edge across the south-east, and Northumberland National Park and the Northumberland Coast and North Pennines National Landscapes cover much of the rest. Former colliery land, edge-of-town fields and farm buildings are common sources of housing land.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 167 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Hexham: common questions
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.
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 Hexham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 167 miles from Hexham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Hexham?
As Hexham is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
