Allocated and promoted land wanted in Shrewsbury
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Shrewsbury and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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 Shrewsbury the kind we want?
We are interested in land around Shrewsbury at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. As the county town of Shropshire, Shrewsbury anchors the area we cover here, along with Wellington, Telford and Newport.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Flood risk along the Severn affects Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and riverside villages, and the M54 corridor links Telford with the West Midlands. Telford was built as a new town and still has land for regeneration, while many rural parishes plan small-scale growth through neighbourhood plans.
Before we make an offer in Shrewsbury
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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 Shropshire 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 37 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Shropshire
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.
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 allocated and promoted land in Shrewsbury?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Shrewsbury and throughout Shropshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Shrewsbury too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 37 miles from Shrewsbury, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
