Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Telford
Around Telford, 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. Telford lies about 13 miles east of Shrewsbury in Shropshire. We also cover Wellington, Newport, Bridgnorth and the villages between them.

Shropshire includes Telford and Shrewsbury alongside market towns such as Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Market Drayton, Newport and Ludlow, and a large rural area. Green Belt covers the east of the county next to the West Midlands, and the Shropshire Hills National Landscape covers much of the south. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land, especially around Telford's older settlements.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 24 miles from Telford, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Telford: common questions
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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Telford?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Telford 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Telford?
As Telford 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.
