Wanted in Kidderminster

Development land wanted in Kidderminster

Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Kidderminster and the villages nearby.

Kidderminster lies about 14 miles north of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge, Kingswinford and the villages between them. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 18 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.

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 Kidderminster

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

Residential development land

Around Kidderminster, 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 Kidderminster area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over.

Land without planning permission

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

Brownfield land

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

Infill plots

We look for infill plots across Kidderminster and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road.

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

Garden and backland plots

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

Farmland and paddocks

Around Kidderminster, paddocks and fields beside existing homes can have real potential, even where they have been grazed or farmed for generations.

Strategic land

If you own a substantial holding near Kidderminster, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted.

Small sites

We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Kidderminster, including ones a larger builder has already turned down.

Commercial and industrial sites

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

Redundant buildings

We are interested in buildings around Kidderminster that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced.

Barns and rural buildings

We look at barns and rural yards around Kidderminster and give a straight view on whether conversion or replacement is realistic.

Garage courts and yards

Across Kidderminster, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning

Sites around Kidderminster with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed.

Allocated and promoted land

Around Kidderminster, 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.
