Development land wanted in Wembley
We are looking for development land in and around Wembley: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
Wembley is in Greater London, about 8 miles north-west of central London. Nearby places include Harrow, Northolt and Edgware. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 97 miles away, and we buy land throughout 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.
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.
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.
