Allocated and promoted land wanted in Bath
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in Bath. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Land that has been allocated or put forward to the council is often the most advanced land a private owner holds. We look at the allocation policy, the evidence the council expects and the route to an application.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Bath
We are interested in land around Bath at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Sitting about 41 miles north-east of Taunton, Bath is within Somerset, with Keynsham and Trowbridge close by.
- 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
Nutrient neutrality advice linked to the Somerset Levels and Moors protected sites has affected housing across much of the county. The M5 corridor through Bridgwater and Taunton, and growth linked to Hinkley Point C, have increased demand for land near those towns.
Before we make an offer in Bath
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.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 83 miles from Bath, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Somerset
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Bath to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Bath?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
