If you own small sites in or around Atherstone, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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.

What small sites we want near Atherstone
Small sites in and around Atherstone are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. In Warwickshire, Atherstone sits about 20 miles north of Warwick; Nuneaton and Bedworth are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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 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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
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.
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 15 miles from Atherstone, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
