Former coalfield areas around Cannock and north Staffordshire often need mining risk checks, and schemes near Cannock Chase contribute to mitigation for its protected heathland. The M6, A38 and West Coast Main Line corridors, and the High Speed 2 route, influence where growth is planned.
Before we make an offer in Biddulph
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
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.
Some land in Staffordshire 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.
