Wanted in Bromsgrove

Development land wanted in Bromsgrove

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

Bromsgrove lies about 12 miles north-east of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Redditch, Droitwich, Halesowen and the villages between them. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 16 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Worcestershire includes Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Evesham, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn and many villages. Green Belt covers the north of the county next to the West Midlands conurbation, and the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds National Landscapes cover parts of the west and south. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, orchards and paddocks, village infill and former industrial land in the towns.

National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.

Parts of Worcestershire 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.

Land we want in Bromsgrove

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

Residential development land

Around Bromsgrove, 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

We are interested in sites with planning across the Bromsgrove area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over.

Land without planning permission

Near Bromsgrove, 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 Bromsgrove can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood.

Infill plots

Around Bromsgrove, 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

Around Bromsgrove, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together.

Commercial and industrial sites

We look at yards and units across Bromsgrove where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses.

Redundant buildings in Bromsgrove often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites.

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