Land with planning permission wanted in Coalville
Looking to sell land with planning permission near Coalville? We assess every site on its merits and explain the options in plain English.
A site with planning permission already has the council's approval for development, so much of the planning risk has gone. If you have consent but no plans to build, or the permission is approaching its time limit, we would like to hear from you.

What land with planning permission we want near Coalville
If you hold a consent in or near Coalville, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view. In Leicestershire, Coalville sits about 12 miles north-west of Leicester; Loughborough and Swadlincote are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- 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
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
What decides whether a site in Coalville works
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
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.
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.
Leicestershire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Coalville are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 26 miles from Coalville, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Leicestershire
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 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.
Is Coalville too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 26 miles from Coalville, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Coalville?
As Coalville 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.
