What allocated and promoted land we want near Burntwood
Around Burntwood, 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 Staffordshire, Burntwood sits about 12 miles south-east of Stafford; Great Wyrley and Lichfield are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Former coalfield areas around Cannock and north Staffordshire often need mining risk checks, and schemes near Cannock Chase contribute to mitigation for its protected heathland. The M6, A38 and West Coast Main Line corridors, and the High Speed 2 route, influence where growth is planned.
Before we make an offer in Burntwood
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.
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.
Parts of Staffordshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Burntwood, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Burntwood: common questions
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.

Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.

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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Burntwood assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
