Brownfield land wanted in Marlow
We are actively looking for brownfield land in Marlow and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
If your land has buildings, hardstanding or a past industrial use, it is likely to count as brownfield. Reusing these sites is a planning priority, and we are buyers for yards, depots and cleared plots across England and Wales.

The brownfield land that interests us around Marlow
Brownfield land in Marlow tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. Marlow lies about 17 miles south of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. We also cover Maidenhead, High Wycombe, Slough and the villages between them.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Buckinghamshire runs from Milton Keynes in the north, through Aylesbury and the Vale, to High Wycombe, Amersham and the Chiltern towns in the south. The southern half is largely Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it lies in the Chilterns National Landscape, so sites there tend to be small, infill or previously developed. The north and the Aylesbury area see more edge-of-town greenfield land, farmland and strategic sites promoted through plan-making.
What decides whether a site in Marlow works
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
Existing floorspace
Vacant buildings can reduce affordable housing requirements in some cases (vacant building credit, England).
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Parts of Buckinghamshire 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 83 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Is Marlow too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 83 miles from Marlow, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Marlow to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
