Small sites wanted in Eastwood
We want to hear from owners of small sites in Eastwood. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A small site is usually land for fewer than ten homes, such as a corner plot, a side garden or a small field. Larger housebuilders often overlook them, but small sites are exactly the kind of land we want across England and Wales.

Is your land in Eastwood the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Eastwood are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Sitting about 7 miles north-west of Nottingham, Eastwood is within Nottinghamshire, with Ilkeston and Heanor close by.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Nottinghamshire covers the city of Nottingham and suburbs such as Arnold, West Bridgford and Hucknall, the former mining towns of Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and Worksop, Retford and Newark-on-Trent. Green Belt surrounds the Nottingham conurbation, while the north of the county, around Worksop and Retford, has none. Typical sites include former colliery and industrial land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and infill plots in villages.
Checks we make on small sites in Eastwood
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
BNG (England)
From 6 August 2026 non-major sites of 0.2 ha or less are generally exempt from mandatory BNG unless priority habitat is affected.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Nottinghamshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 40 miles from Eastwood, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Eastwood ask
Why do larger developers ignore small sites?
Large builders tend to focus on bigger schemes that suit their overheads. Small sites need a different approach, which is why we actively look for them.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
Do you buy small sites in Eastwood?
Yes. We buy small sites in Eastwood and throughout Nottinghamshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Which planning rules apply to land in Eastwood?
As Eastwood 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.
