Strategic land wanted in Stratford-upon-Avon
If you own strategic land in or around Stratford-upon-Avon, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon the kind we want?
Larger landholdings on the approaches to Stratford-upon-Avon are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links. In Warwickshire, Stratford-upon-Avon sits about 8 miles south-west of Warwick; Warwick and Leamington Spa are its nearest neighbours on our list.

- Sites that could form part of a local plan allocation
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Sites already being considered by the council
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
Before we make an offer in Stratford-upon-Avon
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
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.
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.
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 26 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Do I need to do anything while the land is promoted?
Usually very little beyond signing representations and allowing surveys. You normally keep using the land.
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.
Is Stratford-upon-Avon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 26 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
