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

What allocated and promoted land we want near Redditch
If your land near Redditch appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. In Worcestershire, Redditch sits about 14 miles north-east of Worcester; Bromsgrove and Droitwich are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.
Before we make an offer in Redditch
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 17 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Redditch ask
My land is in a call for sites. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
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 Redditch too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 17 miles from Redditch, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Redditch assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
