Farmland and paddocks wanted in Didcot
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Didcot. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Farmland and paddocks can become development land when they sit beside a settlement that needs new homes. We look for fields on the edges of towns and villages across England and Wales and work with owners on options, conditional contracts and joint ventures.

Is your land in Didcot the kind we want?
We are looking for farmland near Didcot with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. In Oxfordshire, Didcot sits about 10 miles south of Oxford; Abingdon and Oxford are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
East West Rail and the science and technology economy around Oxford, Harwell and Culham drive demand for new homes. Flood risk from the Thames and Cherwell affects Oxford and nearby villages, while Bicester and Didcot have expanded substantially through planned growth.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Didcot
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.
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.
Some land in Oxfordshire 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 71 miles from Didcot, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Oxfordshire
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
Will I lose my farm payments?
Development land may need to leave a scheme at some point. Check your agreements and take advice; we plan timing around them where we can.
Is Didcot too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 71 miles from Didcot, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Didcot?
As Didcot is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
