Is your land in Brackley the kind we want?
Sites around Brackley with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed. In Northamptonshire, Brackley sits about 19 miles south-west of Northampton; Banbury and Bicester are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Land with an old permission that was never started
The M1, A14 and A43 corridors, and the Midland Main Line through Kettering, Wellingborough and Corby, focus much of the area's growth. Protected wetland bird habitats in the Nene valley gravel pits mean some schemes near the river contribute to recreational mitigation.
Before we make an offer in Brackley
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Northamptonshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Brackley are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 48 miles from Brackley, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Northamptonshire
My application was refused. Should I appeal or re-apply?
It depends on the reasons and time limits. Sometimes a revised application is better than an appeal. We look at the decision and say what we would do.
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.
Is Brackley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 48 miles from Brackley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Brackley?
As Brackley is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
