What farmland and paddocks we want near Maltby
Around Maltby, paddocks and fields beside existing homes can have real potential, even where they have been grazed or farmed for generations. In South Yorkshire, Maltby sits about 11 miles east of Sheffield; Dinnington and Conisbrough are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- 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
Most of the area lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk assessments are common, and flood risk from the Don, Dearne and Rother affects low-lying sites around Doncaster and Rotherham. The M1 and M18 corridors, Supertram and the rail network influence where higher-density homes are supported.
What decides whether a site in Maltby works
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Some land in South Yorkshire 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 67 miles from Maltby, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Maltby ask
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.
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
Can an agent introduce land in Maltby to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Maltby assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
