Small sites wanted in Hinckley
We are actively looking for small sites in Hinckley and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Small sites are plots for roughly one to nine homes. They are quicker to plan and build than large schemes and national policy encourages councils to bring more of them forward. We buy small sites with or without planning.

Is your land in Hinckley the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Hinckley are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Hinckley lies about 12 miles south-west of Leicester in Leicestershire. We also cover Earl Shilton, Nuneaton, Bedworth and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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.
Checks we make on small sites in Hinckley
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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 22 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Leicestershire
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, affordable housing is generally sought on major development of ten or more homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes from a single home.
How quickly can you give a view?
For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.
Do you buy small sites in Hinckley?
Yes. We buy small sites in Hinckley and throughout Leicestershire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Hinckley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 22 miles from Hinckley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
