Land with planning permission wanted in Cannock
If you own land with planning permission in or around Cannock, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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.

Is your land in Cannock the kind we want?
We are interested in sites with planning across the Cannock area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. In Staffordshire, Cannock sits about 9 miles south-east of Stafford; Great Wyrley and Burntwood are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
Staffordshire includes Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Burton upon Trent, Tamworth, Lichfield, Cannock and the moorland town of Leek. Green Belt surrounds the Potteries and covers the south of the county next to the West Midlands, while the Peak District National Park and Cannock Chase National Landscape are major designations. Typical sites include former pottery and colliery land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and village infill.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Cannock, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Land with planning permission in Cannock: common questions
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.
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Cannock?
As Cannock 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Cannock assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
