Development land wanted in Sidcup
We are looking for development land in and around Sidcup: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
Sidcup is in Greater London, about 11 miles south-east of central London. Nearby places include Bexley, Orpington and Swanley. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 115 miles from Sidcup, 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.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Parts of Greater London 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.
