Strategic land wanted in Kidsgrove
We want to hear from owners of strategic land in Kidsgrove. 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.

Former coalfield areas around Cannock and north Staffordshire often need mining risk checks, and schemes near Cannock Chase contribute to mitigation for its protected heathland. The M6, A38 and West Coast Main Line corridors, and the High Speed 2 route, influence where growth is planned.
Checks we make on strategic land in Kidsgrove
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 Staffordshire 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.

Frequently asked in Staffordshire
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.

Is Kidsgrove too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 40 miles from Kidsgrove, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Kidsgrove?
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.
