Small sites wanted in Hucknall
Development Land Wanted buys small sites in Hucknall and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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 Hucknall the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Hucknall are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Hucknall is in Nottinghamshire, about 6 miles north of Nottingham. Nearby places include Arnold, Eastwood and Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

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 Hucknall
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 45 miles from Hucknall, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
