Allocated and promoted land wanted in Lowestoft
Development Land Wanted buys allocated and promoted land in Lowestoft and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted local plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a call for sites or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Many coastal and estuary schemes contribute to recreational disturbance mitigation for protected birds, and flood risk matters along the estuaries. The A14 and A12 corridors, the Port of Felixstowe and the Ipswich area attract the most interest in larger housing land.

Questions owners in Lowestoft ask
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 part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Is Lowestoft too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 154 miles from Lowestoft, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Lowestoft 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.
