Is your land in Prudhoe the kind we want?
Around Prudhoe, 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. Sitting about 16 miles south-west of Morpeth, Prudhoe is within Northumberland, with Blaydon and Consett close by.
- 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
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
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.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Some land in Northumberland is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 167 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Prudhoe ask
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 Prudhoe too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 167 miles from Prudhoe, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Prudhoe assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
