Brownfield land wanted in Spalding
We are actively looking for brownfield land in Spalding and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Brownfield land is land that has been developed before, such as a former factory, depot, yard or cleared building plot. National policy in both England and Wales supports reusing it, and we buy brownfield sites of all sizes for new homes.

Is your land in Spalding the kind we want?
In Spalding, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Spalding lies about 34 miles south-east of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. We also cover Boston, Peterborough, Wisbech and the villages between them.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
What usually makes or breaks it
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).
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Lincolnshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Spalding are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Lincolnshire
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
Is brownfield land easier to get planning on?
National policy in England and Wales supports making good use of previously developed land, but each site still needs to meet local policies.
