Strategic land wanted in Nuneaton
We are actively looking for strategic land in Nuneaton 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.

The strategic land that interests us around Nuneaton
Larger landholdings on the approaches to Nuneaton are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links. Sitting about 17 miles north of Warwick, Nuneaton is within Warwickshire, with Bedworth and Hinckley close by.
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
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.
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Parts of Warwickshire 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 19 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Nuneaton 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.
