Is your land in Tiverton the kind we want?
Around Tiverton, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. Tiverton lies about 12 miles north of Exeter in Devon. We also cover Exeter, Taunton, Exmouth and the villages between them.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Sites that could form part of a local plan allocation
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
The A30, A38 and M5 corridors and the main line from Exeter to Plymouth carry most of Devon's planned growth, including new communities east of Exeter. In coastal towns, flood risk and coastal change can affect sites, while nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Axe catchment on the Dorset border.
What usually makes or breaks it
Local plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Station proximity (England)
The August 2026 NPPF gives new support to suitable development within reasonable walking distance of well-connected stations.
Promotion costs
Technical studies and plan representations cost money; under an option we pay them up front, and any recovery from the price is capped in the heads of terms.
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.
Devon has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Tiverton are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tiverton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Do I need to do anything while the land is promoted?

Under an option, owners are usually paid a premium on signing, with the main payment when the land is sold after planning.

For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Tiverton?
