Brownfield land wanted in Coalville
We want to hear from owners of brownfield land in Coalville. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A brownfield site is previously developed land, usually in or near a town. Old use can mean contamination, demolition or difficult ground, but these are often solvable. We look at the history, the ground and the planning position before making an offer.

Brownfield land we are looking for in Coalville
Former works, depots and yards in and around Coalville can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood. Coalville is in Leicestershire, about 12 miles north-west of Leicester. Nearby places include Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel.
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
Before we make an offer in Coalville
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Existing floorspace
Vacant buildings can reduce affordable housing requirements in some cases (vacant building credit, England).
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 26 miles from Coalville, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Leicestershire
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.

It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Is Coalville too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 26 miles from Coalville, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Coalville?
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.
