Is your land in Burntwood the kind we want?
Former works, depots and yards in and around Burntwood can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood. Burntwood is in Staffordshire, about 12 miles south-east of Stafford. Nearby places include Great Wyrley, Lichfield and Cannock.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
Former coalfield areas around Cannock and north Staffordshire often need mining risk checks, and schemes near Cannock Chase contribute to mitigation for its protected heathland. The M6, A38 and West Coast Main Line corridors, and the High Speed 2 route, influence where growth is planned.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Burntwood
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Burntwood, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
