Strategic land wanted in Earl Shilton
We want to hear from owners of strategic land in Earl Shilton. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

Is your land in Earl Shilton the kind we want?
If you own a substantial holding near Earl Shilton, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted. Sitting about 9 miles south-west of Leicester, Earl Shilton is within Leicestershire, with Hinckley and Nuneaton close by.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Sites already being considered by the council
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
Before we make an offer in Earl Shilton
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.
Leicestershire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Earl Shilton are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 25 miles from Earl Shilton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Strategic land in Earl Shilton: common questions
How long does strategic land take?
Often several years, because it may need a local plan allocation and then an outline permission. We are honest about timing for each site.
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.
Is Earl Shilton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 25 miles from Earl Shilton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Earl Shilton 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.
