Small sites we are looking for in Newark-on-Trent
Small sites in and around Newark-on-Trent are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Newark-on-Trent is in Nottinghamshire, about 16 miles north-east of Nottingham. Nearby places include Grantham, Arnold and Nottingham.
- 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
Much of western Nottinghamshire lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk checks are common, and flood risk along the Trent affects Newark and riverside villages. The Robin Hood Line, the M1 and A1 corridors and growth around the city attract steady interest in housing land.
Before we make an offer in Newark-on-Trent
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.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 58 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
