What small sites we want near Cleveleys
Small sites in and around Cleveleys are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Sitting about 16 miles north-west of Preston, Cleveleys is within Lancashire, with Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde close by.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
The Forest of Bowland and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscapes and a small part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park cover the rural north and east. Flood risk on the Fylde coast, the Ribble and the Lune shapes many sites, and the M6, M55 and M65 corridors link the main towns.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 103 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
