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

Worcestershire includes Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Evesham, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn and many villages. Green Belt covers the north of the county next to the West Midlands conurbation, and the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds National Landscapes cover parts of the west and south. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, orchards and paddocks, village infill and former industrial land in the towns.
Checks we make on strategic land in Evesham
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Parts of Worcestershire 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 32 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
