Wanted in Hayling Island

Development land wanted in Hayling Island

We are looking for development land in and around Hayling Island: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.

Hayling Island is in Hampshire, about 25 miles south-east of Winchester. Nearby places include Emsworth, Havant and Portsmouth. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 128 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.

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 Hampshire 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.
