Development land wanted in Kingston upon Thames
We are looking for development land in and around Kingston upon Thames: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
Sitting about 10 miles south-west of central London, Kingston upon Thames is within Greater London, with East Molesey and Richmond close by. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
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.
