Wanted in Camberley

Development land wanted in Camberley

Own land in Camberley that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

Sitting about 10 miles north-west of Guildford, Camberley is within Surrey, with Sandhurst and Farnborough close by. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 97 miles from Camberley, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Heathland protection in the west of the county means many schemes contribute to mitigation for the Thames Basin Heaths, and flood risk from the Thames and Mole affects riverside towns. Stations on the lines into Waterloo and Victoria matter, as English planning policy now gives weight to locations near well-connected stations.

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 Surrey 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.

Land we want in Camberley

Edge-of-town meadow with timber survey stakes and orange marker pegs, houses along the far boundary

Residential development land

Around Camberley, the residential land that tends to work is close to existing homes, shops and transport rather than out on its own.

Vacant fenced development plot with a council planning notice tied to a lamp post and terraced houses beyond

Land with planning permission

For consented land around Camberley, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission.

Land without planning permission

Near Camberley, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan.

Cleared former industrial yard with cracked concrete, a palisade fence and an old brick warehouse wall

Brownfield land

Former works, depots and yards in and around Camberley can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood.

Overgrown empty plot between two Edwardian semi-detached houses on a suburban street

Infill plots

Around Camberley, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design.

Long rear gardens behind 1930s semi-detached houses with a gravel access lane along the bottom

Garden and backland plots

Backland development in Camberley turns on access and privacy; we look at both before suggesting whether an application is worth making.

Horse paddock with post-and-rail fencing and a field gate on the edge of a village at evening

Farmland and paddocks

Fields that wrap around the edges of Camberley and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about.

Strategic land

Around Camberley, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned.

Corner plot of rough grass at a suburban road junction with houses along both roads

Small sites

In Camberley, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood.

Vacant single-storey industrial units with grey roller shutters and an empty tarmac forecourt

Commercial and industrial sites

Older business land around Camberley, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss.

Redundant buildings

Across Camberley, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up.

Barns and rural buildings

Farm buildings near Camberley that have fallen out of use may suit conversion, particularly traditional barns with a good access.

Garage courts and yards

Garage courts tucked behind homes in Camberley are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning

If a scheme near Camberley was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need.

Allocated and promoted land

Around Camberley, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage.
