Call for Sites – Summer 2025

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is conducting a Call for Sites. Whilst the Council is currently at examination with its Borough Plan Review (2021-2039), the Council is taking proactive steps to move forward with its new Local Plan, which will guide development over the coming years following the publication of the Government’s updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in December 2024.

Landowners and developers are being asked by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council to come forward with sites that may be suitable for future development within the Borough, with a site area of 0.25ha or above, that could be used for future development uses, including:

• Housing (such as market, affordable, older persons and traveller accommodation)

• Employment (such as offices, warehouses and industrial)

• Retail (such as convenience stores and supermarkets)

• Social Infrastructure (such as community centres, green space and schools)

All of the sites submitted will be subject to a detailed assessment to establish their suitability, availability and achievability in meeting any future needs for the Borough.

This call for sites ends at 23:59 on 29 September 2025.

All sites need to be submitted using the Council’s Site Assessment Form which can be found at www.nuneatonandbedworth.gov.uk/callforsites.

Alongside any Site Assessment Forms you wish to submit, a site plan should also be submitted so that the sites can be identified appropriately. It is important that as much information as possible relating to the sites is provided to allow for an effective assessment.

Please email your completed forms to planning.policy@nuneatonandbedworth.gov.uk or post them to:

Planning Policy, Town Hall, Coton Road, Nuneaton, CV11 5AA.

Please note: Sites should be 0.25ha or above and sites submitted during the 2024 Call for Employment Sites do not need to resubmitted unless the promoters of these sites would like them to be considered for alternative land uses. Any sites submitted during historic Call for Sites processes, prior to the 2024 Call for Employment Sites, need to be resubmitted in order to be considered going forward.

This exercise is being conducting in line with the framework outlined in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) methodology. This methodology was produced in collaboration with other Local Authorities within the Coventry and Warwickshire sub-region.
