Bassetlaw District Council is carrying out a call for sites to give people and organisations the opportunity to submit sites with the potential for new development or uses, such as:
• Residential development of five or more dwellings
• Self-build or custom build housing sites of one or more dwellings
• New Settlements of 4000 dwellings or more
• Biodiversity receptor sites with an area of 500sqm or more
• Retail development with a floorspace of 500sqm or more
• Economic development e.g., office, factory, with a floorspace of 500sqm or more
• Gypsy, Travellers or Travelling Showpeople sites
• Public Open Space
• Community Facilities
• Any other developments/uses
The Council will include your site submission within the Land Availability Assessment and assess the suitability, deliverability and developability of the sites. This will become part of the evidence base which informs new planning policy documents.
Please note that the call for sites and subsequent site assessments do not indicate that planning permission will be granted or suggest that the sites are suitable for allocating in a planning policy document. Neither is the Land Availability Assessment a material planning consideration in the determination of planning applications.
Your submissions should reach us by 5pm, 4th September 2025
Please enter a separate submission for each site and ensure that you provide us with as much detailed and accurate information as possible. The submission should include a map that has a red line boundary of the site. Any additional documentation that may be of use to the Council in understanding your site can be uploaded with the submission.
For more information, or if you need any help with the online submission, please visit
