Development land wanted in Hayes
Own land in Hayes that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.
Sitting about 13 miles west of central London, Hayes is within Greater London, with Southall and Northolt close by. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 95 miles from Hayes, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Greater London is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
