Teesside has substantial former industrial land and regeneration areas, while flooding from the Ouse, Foss and Derwent affects York, Selby and nearby villages. The A1(M) and East Coast Main Line corridor through Northallerton and Thirsk, and the Harrogate to York rail line, attract steady interest in housing land.
What decides whether a site in Redcar works
Planning route
In England, Class Q prior approval may apply to agricultural buildings; in Wales, a full application is usually needed.
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 147 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in North Yorkshire
We still use some of the buildings. Can we sell just part of the yard?
Yes. We can look at selling some buildings and keeping others, with access and boundaries agreed.
Do bats stop a barn conversion?
Not usually, but surveys and mitigation are needed, and survey seasons can affect timing.
Is Redcar too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 147 miles from Redcar, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Redcar?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
