Strategic land wanted in Daventry
We are actively looking for strategic land in Daventry and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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 Daventry
If you own a substantial holding near Daventry, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted. Daventry is in Northamptonshire, about 12 miles west of Northampton. Nearby places include Rugby, Northampton and Leamington Spa.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
The M1, A14 and A43 corridors, and the Midland Main Line through Kettering, Wellingborough and Corby, focus much of the area's growth. Protected wetland bird habitats in the Nene valley gravel pits mean some schemes near the river contribute to recreational mitigation.
What decides whether a site in Daventry works
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Northamptonshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Daventry are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 37 miles from Daventry, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Daventry ask
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.
