Land with planning permission we are looking for in Shanklin
If you hold a consent in or near Shanklin, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view. Sitting about 7 miles south-east of Newport, Shanklin is within the Isle of Wight, with Sandown and Newport close by.
- Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
Because the island drains to the Solent, nutrient neutrality advice has applied to new homes, alongside recreation mitigation for coastal birds. Development is focused on the larger towns and the Medina valley, with ferry links to the mainland at Cowes, East Cowes, Ryde and Yarmouth shaping access.
Before we make an offer in Shanklin
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 136 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Will the Section 106 obligations transfer to the buyer?
Planning obligations usually run with the land, so they bind whoever owns it. We review them as part of our due diligence.
Can an agent introduce land in Shanklin 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Shanklin?
As Shanklin 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.
