Land with planning permission wanted in Dewsbury
We want to hear from owners of land with planning permission in Dewsbury. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 Dewsbury
For consented land around Dewsbury, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Dewsbury is in West Yorkshire, about 8 miles south-west of Leeds. Nearby places include Batley, Ossett and Heckmondwike.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
The South Pennine moors and part of the Peak District National Park border the west, with protected moorland habitats that can require mitigation for nearby schemes. Steep valley sites around Halifax and Huddersfield, and flood risk from the Aire and Calder, are common considerations.
Before we make an offer in Dewsbury
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.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 80 miles from Dewsbury, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
