Land without planning permission wanted in Prudhoe
We want to hear from owners of land without planning permission in Prudhoe. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If your land has never had planning permission, it can still be development land. We check whether housing is credible under current policy and, where it is, propose a deal that shares out the planning risk fairly.

Is your land in Prudhoe the kind we want?
Near Prudhoe, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. In Northumberland, Prudhoe sits about 16 miles south-west of Morpeth; Blaydon and Consett are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Land of any size, including single plots
The reopened Northumberland Line rail service between Ashington, Bedlington, Blyth and Newcastle has made south-east Northumberland a focus for new homes. The coast has internationally protected bird and dune habitats, so coastal schemes often contribute to recreation mitigation, and coal mining legacy checks are common inland.
What decides whether a site in Prudhoe works
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
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.
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.
Some land in Northumberland is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 167 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Prudhoe ask
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
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 without planning permission in Prudhoe?
Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Prudhoe and throughout Northumberland, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Prudhoe to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
