The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Calne
Around Calne, 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 Wiltshire, Calne sits about 12 miles north-east of Trowbridge; Chippenham and Devizes are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Salisbury Plain and Stonehenge bring military and World Heritage considerations, and nutrient neutrality advice has affected the River Avon catchment around Salisbury. The M4 corridor around Swindon and Chippenham and the rail lines through Westbury and Trowbridge focus much of the area's growth.
Before we make an offer in Calne
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.
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 77 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Calne: 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Calne?
As Calne is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Calne assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
