Wanted in High Wycombe

Development land wanted in High Wycombe

Own land in High Wycombe that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

Sitting about 13 miles south of Aylesbury, High Wycombe is within Buckinghamshire, with Marlow and Amersham close by. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 80 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Buckinghamshire runs from Milton Keynes in the north, through Aylesbury and the Vale, to High Wycombe, Amersham and the Chiltern towns in the south. The southern half is largely Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it lies in the Chilterns National Landscape, so sites there tend to be small, infill or previously developed. The north and the Aylesbury area see more edge-of-town greenfield land, farmland and strategic sites promoted through plan-making.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.

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.
