Development land wanted in Uxbridge
We are looking for development land in and around Uxbridge: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
In Greater London, Uxbridge sits about 16 miles west of central London; Ruislip and Hayes are its nearest neighbours on our list. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 92 miles from Uxbridge, 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.
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.
