Is your land in Nuneaton the kind we want?
Fields that wrap around the edges of Nuneaton and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Nuneaton is in Warwickshire, about 17 miles north of Warwick. Nearby places include Bedworth, Hinckley and Atherstone.
- 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
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
Before we make an offer in Nuneaton
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.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Warwickshire 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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 19 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 Nuneaton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 19 miles from Nuneaton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Nuneaton?
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.
