Allocated and promoted land wanted in Welshpool
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Welshpool and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted Local Development Plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a candidate site process or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Welshpool
Around Welshpool, 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 Powys, Welshpool sits about 30 miles north of Llandrindod Wells; Newtown and Rhosllannerchrugog are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
Before we make an offer in Welshpool
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 53 miles from Welshpool, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
