Lincolnshire, as used here, includes the Humber towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes as well as Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Stamford and Skegness. There is no Green Belt, but the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape covers part of the county and much of the south and east lies in low-lying fenland and coastal marsh at high flood risk. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land.
Before we make an offer in Skegness
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 102 miles from Skegness, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
