Is your land in Bognor Regis the kind we want?
We are interested in sites with planning across the Bognor Regis area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. In West Sussex, Bognor Regis sits about 6 miles south-east of Chichester; Chichester and Littlehampton 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
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
Water neutrality advice that held up many schemes around Crawley, Horsham and Chichester was withdrawn from 1 November 2025, though water efficiency remains important. Chichester Harbour and the coastal plain bring flood risk and mitigation considerations, while the Brighton Main Line and A23 corridor focus growth around Crawley and Burgess Hill.
What usually makes or breaks it
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Planning obligations
Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 133 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

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.
