Allocated and promoted land wanted in Newmarket
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Newmarket and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
If your land is allocated in a plan, or you have submitted it to a call for sites, the council has already started considering it for development. We can buy allocated land or take it forward through promotion and an application.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Newmarket
We are interested in land around Newmarket at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. In Suffolk, Newmarket sits about 34 miles west of Ipswich; Haverhill and Ely are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Suffolk is a largely rural county with Ipswich, Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Felixstowe, Sudbury, Stowmarket and Newmarket and many villages. There is no Green Belt, but the Suffolk and Essex Coast and Heaths and Dedham Vale National Landscapes and part of the Broads cover sensitive areas. Typical sites include edge-of-village fields, farm buildings, infill plots and former industrial or airfield land, with coastal change a factor on the eroding coast.
What decides whether a site in Newmarket works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 100 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Newmarket: 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.
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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Newmarket?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Newmarket and throughout Suffolk, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Newmarket too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 100 miles from Newmarket, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
