Is your land in Tamworth the kind we want?
Around Tamworth, 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. Tamworth is in Staffordshire, about 21 miles south-east of Stafford. Nearby places include Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Atherstone.
- 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
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
