Land with planning permission we are looking for in Morecambe
We are interested in sites with planning across the Morecambe area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. Morecambe is in Lancashire, about 22 miles north of Preston. Nearby places include Heysham, Lancaster and Fleetwood.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- 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
The Forest of Bowland and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscapes and a small part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park cover the rural north and east. Flood risk on the Fylde coast, the Ribble and the Lune shapes many sites, and the M6, M55 and M65 corridors link the main towns.
Before we make an offer in Morecambe
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
Planning obligations
Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 112 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Land with planning permission in Morecambe: common questions
Do I need to discharge the conditions before selling?
No. Many sites are sold with conditions still outstanding. We look at what is left to do and allow for it.
Can you buy if the approved scheme is not one you would build?
Yes. Sometimes we buy on the basis of the existing permission and then seek changes through a new or amended application.
Can an agent introduce land in Morecambe 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 Morecambe assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
