Is your land in Grantham the kind we want?
Around Grantham, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. Sitting about 22 miles south of Lincoln, Grantham is within Lincolnshire, with Sleaford and Newark-on-Trent close by.
- Sites that could form part of a local plan allocation
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
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.
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
Station proximity (England)
The August 2026 NPPF gives new support to suitable development within reasonable walking distance of well-connected stations.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Lincolnshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Grantham are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 59 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
