Hallam Land, the land promotion and planning division of listed property group Henry Boot, has completed the sale of over 300 residential plots across North Yorkshire and Suffolk.
The first sale involved a site in Hambleton, North Yorkshire, with planning permission for 156 homes, sold to housebuilder Barratt Redrow. Hallam Land began promoting the site in January 2022 and submitted an outline planning application. North Yorkshire Council did not make a decision on the application, prompting Hallam Land to successfully appeal on grounds of non-determination.
Separately, the company sold 173 residential plots in Haverhill, Suffolk, to Bloor Homes. Hallam Land originally agreed a promotion deal for this site in 2014 and submitted an outline planning application in 2015. Planning consent was granted in 2018 for a total of 2,500 homes, of which 1,250 are Hallam Land’s share, with 30 per cent designated as affordable. The consent also includes two primary schools, two local centres, an extra care facility, open space, and a Country Park.
This marks the second sale at the Suffolk site, following a disposal of 450 plots to Redrow in 2018. Hallam Land retains 627 plots at Haverhill for future sales.
Tim Roberts, chief executive at Henry Boot, said: “Hallam Land’s strength lies in its ability to create value by securing planning consent for complex sites that might otherwise be difficult to unlock for new homes.
“These transactions take the total plot sales for the year to 3,591, and demonstrates that housebuilders remain keen to acquire well located, consented land. It gives us reason for optimism as we look ahead to 2026.”
