Hallam Land, the land promotion and planning arm of Henry Boot, has received outline planning permission for 300 homes in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, after a successful appeal.
The approval followed Ashfield District Council’s failure to determine the original planning application, prompting Hallam to appeal in July 2024. The Planning Inspectorate ruled in Hallam’s favour in February and granted a full award of costs.
The land, originally tied to a planning promotion agreement signed in 2012, has now been unconditionally contracted for sale to housebuilder Harron Homes. Completion of the sale is expected in 2026.
This is part of a broader strategic push by Hallam Land, which has secured planning for around 3,000 plots in recent months and intends to submit applications for an additional 10,000 plots over the next year. The move reflects growing momentum in the UK’s planning environment, presenting opportunities for developers and investors seeking exposure to the housing sector.
