Wanted in Gerrards Cross

Development land wanted in Gerrards Cross

Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Gerrards Cross and the villages nearby.

In Buckinghamshire, Gerrards Cross sits about 19 miles south-east of Aylesbury; Chalfont Saint Peter and Uxbridge are its nearest neighbours on our list. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 88 miles from Gerrards Cross, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

The planned East West Rail route and the existing lines into Marylebone and Euston shape where growth is directed in Buckinghamshire. Village infill plots, redundant farm buildings and garden land are frequent in the rural parishes, while Milton Keynes and Aylesbury attract larger edge-of-town and regeneration sites.

The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.

Parts of Buckinghamshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.

We look at yards and units across Gerrards Cross where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses.
