Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Mansfield Woodhouse
We are looking for farmland near Mansfield Woodhouse with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. Mansfield Woodhouse lies about 15 miles north of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. We also cover Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and the villages between them.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Much of western Nottinghamshire lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk checks are common, and flood risk along the Trent affects Newark and riverside villages. The Robin Hood Line, the M1 and A1 corridors and growth around the city attract steady interest in housing land.
Before we make an offer in Mansfield Woodhouse
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
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.
Some land in Nottinghamshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 52 miles from Mansfield Woodhouse, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

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.
