Allocated and promoted land wanted in Liversedge
Development Land Wanted buys allocated and promoted land in Liversedge 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.

Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Liversedge
Around Liversedge, 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. Sitting about 9 miles south-west of Leeds, Liversedge is within West Yorkshire, with Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton close by.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
West Yorkshire centres on Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Halifax, with many mill and mining towns such as Dewsbury, Batley, Keighley, Castleford and Pontefract. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, so former mill, industrial and colliery land and town-centre sites are major sources of housing land. Grey belt and smaller fringe sites on the urban edge can also come forward.
Before we make an offer in Liversedge
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.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 80 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Liversedge: common questions
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.
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.
Is Liversedge too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 80 miles from Liversedge, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Liversedge?
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.
