Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Earl Shilton
Development Land Wanted buys sites with lapsed or refused planning in Earl Shilton and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
A site with lapsed or refused planning has been through the system before without a build starting. That history is useful: it shows what the council liked and what it did not. We buy such sites and look at whether a revised scheme could succeed.

The sites with lapsed or refused planning that interests us around Earl Shilton
If a scheme near Earl Shilton was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. In Leicestershire, Earl Shilton sits about 9 miles south-west of Leicester; Hinckley and Nuneaton are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Withdrawn applications
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
