Selling land for development in Coventry: land promoters and the Local Plan

For landowners in the Coventry City Council area. Local plan detail on this page is limited until we have checked dated council sources; please use the council links below.

In short: if you own a field, paddock or larger parcel in Coventry, a land promoter may be willing to fund the planning work at no upfront cost to you. We can introduce you to one. Nothing happens without your agreement.

Where the local plan stands

Local plan timetables change. For the current stage, call for sites or consultations, check Coventry City Council’s own Local Plan and planning policy pages. We will add a dated summary here once we have verified it from the council site.

Green Belt and grey belt in Coventry

According to the MHCLG Local authority Green Belt statistics for England: 2024 to 2025 (as at 31 March 2025), about 15.0% of the land area in Coventry is designated Green Belt (about 1,480 ha). Green Belt land that does not strongly serve its purposes may be assessed as grey belt under national policy, but every site is judged individually. Read our plain-English guide to grey belt land.

Places we look at

Fields, paddocks and edge-of-settlement land across the Coventry City Council area. If your land is here, get in touch anyway.

Small sites in Coventry

Many councils publish a brownfield land register. Part 2 of a register is where a council can grant permission in principle for housing. Own a small plot here? See selling a small plot with or near planning. Builders looking for land in Coventry can read about land for small builders.

How an introduction works

Tell us roughly where your land is and its size. We do some free desk checks, then, if it looks promising and you agree, we introduce you to a land promoter who works in the area. Their fee comes from the eventual sale, and our fee is paid by the promoter. Always take independent legal advice before signing anything. More on how land promotion works.
