Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Spalding
If you own sites with lapsed or refused planning in or around Spalding, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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.

Is your land in Spalding the kind we want?
Sites around Spalding with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed. Sitting about 34 miles south-east of Lincoln, Spalding is within Lincolnshire, with Boston and Peterborough close by.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
What decides whether a site in Spalding works
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 75 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
