Strategic land wanted in Kingswood
If you own strategic land in or around Kingswood, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Strategic land means sites big enough to need long-term promotion, infrastructure and often a local plan allocation. Owners typically keep the land while it is promoted and are paid when planning is secured and the land is sold.

Strategic land we are looking for in Kingswood
If you own a substantial holding near Kingswood, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted. Kingswood lies about 31 miles south of Gloucester in Gloucestershire. We also cover Keynsham, Yate, Bath and the villages between them.
- Sites that could form part of a local plan allocation
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
Flood risk from the Severn and its tributaries is a defining constraint around Gloucester and Tewkesbury, and sites near the tidal estuary need careful assessment. The M5 corridor between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and towns with railway stations such as Stroud and Yate, attract the most housing interest.
What decides whether a site in Kingswood works
Local plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
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.
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.
Parts of Gloucestershire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 80 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
What if my neighbours own part of the best site?
We can help bring owners together under an equalisation arrangement so value is shared fairly, whoever ends up with the roads or open space.
Will I be paid anything before planning?
Under an option, owners are usually paid a premium on signing, with the main payment when the land is sold after planning.
Can an agent introduce land in Kingswood to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Kingswood assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
