Development land wanted in Pinner
Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Pinner and the villages nearby.
Pinner is in Greater London, about 12 miles north-west of central London. Nearby places include Ruislip, Harrow and Northolt. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 92 miles from Pinner, and we travel to see sites across 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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
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.

Your questions answered
Can an agent introduce land in Pinner to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pinner?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pinner?
As Pinner is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I have to pay you anything?
No. Our appraisal is free and we never charge landowners a fee. On option agreements we also pay your reasonable legal costs, up to a cap agreed in the heads of terms. Under options and joint ventures, agreed planning and promotion costs may be recovered from the price or proceeds; any recovery is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
