Small sites wanted in Warwickshire
We are actively looking for small sites in Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire the kind we want?
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
- 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 M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
Before we make an offer in Warwickshire
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.
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.

Small sites in Warwickshire: common questions
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.
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.

Yes. We buy small sites in Warwickshire and throughout Warwickshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
