Development land wanted in Hounslow
Own land in Hounslow that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.
Sitting about 10 miles west of central London, Hounslow is within Greater London, with Richmond and Feltham close by. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 99 miles from Hounslow, 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.
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.
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.
