Brownfield land wanted in Tewkesbury
We want to hear from owners of brownfield land in Tewkesbury. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A brownfield site is previously developed land, usually in or near a town. Old use can mean contamination, demolition or difficult ground, but these are often solvable. We look at the history, the ground and the planning position before making an offer.

Is your land in Tewkesbury the kind we want?
In Tewkesbury, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. In Gloucestershire, Tewkesbury sits about 9 miles north of Gloucester; Cheltenham and Gloucester are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
Gloucestershire, as used here, includes the Bristol fringe towns of Kingswood and Yate as well as Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury and Cirencester. Green Belt lies between Cheltenham and Gloucester and around the Bristol edge, while the Cotswolds, Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, village infill, farm buildings and former employment land along the M5.
What decides whether a site in Tewkesbury works
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
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).
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 40 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Brownfield land in Tewkesbury: common questions
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
Is brownfield land easier to get planning on?
National policy in England and Wales supports making good use of previously developed land, but each site still needs to meet local policies.
Can an agent introduce land in Tewkesbury 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Tewkesbury?
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.
