Land without planning permission we are looking for in Louth
Plenty of land around Louth has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place. Sitting about 24 miles north-east of Lincoln, Louth is within Lincolnshire, with Cleethorpes and Grimsby close by.
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
- Land of any size, including single plots
Lincolnshire, as used here, includes the Humber towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes as well as Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Stamford and Skegness. There is no Green Belt, but the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape covers part of the county and much of the south and east lies in low-lying fenland and coastal marsh at high flood risk. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land.
Before we make an offer in Louth
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Lincolnshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Louth are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 97 miles from Louth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Land without planning permission in Louth: common questions
What if planning is refused?
That depends on the deal. Under a conditional contract we can usually decide whether to appeal, re-apply or walk away; if we walk away you keep your land.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Do you buy land without planning permission in Louth?
Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Louth and throughout Lincolnshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Louth too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 97 miles from Louth, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
