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

Is your land in Kippax the kind we want?
If you own a substantial holding near Kippax, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted. Kippax lies about 8 miles east of Leeds in West Yorkshire. We also cover Castleford, Pontefract, Leeds and the villages between them.
- Sites that could form part of a local plan allocation
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
West Yorkshire centres on Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Halifax, with many mill and mining towns such as Dewsbury, Batley, Keighley, Castleford and Pontefract. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, so former mill, industrial and colliery land and town-centre sites are major sources of housing land. Grey belt and smaller fringe sites on the urban edge can also come forward.
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.
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 West Yorkshire 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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 87 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Kippax ask
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.
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.

Yes. We buy strategic land in Kippax and throughout West Yorkshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
How quickly can you look at a site in Kippax?
