Brownfield land wanted in Cheshunt
We want to hear from owners of brownfield land in Cheshunt. 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.

Brownfield land we are looking for in Cheshunt
In Cheshunt, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Cheshunt lies about 7 miles south of Hertford in Hertfordshire. We also cover Waltham Abbey, Hoddesdon, Chingford and the villages between them.
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Hertfordshire is a county of medium-sized towns, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Hitchin, with many villages between them. Most of the county lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt and the Chilterns National Landscape covers the west, so grey belt, previously developed land and infill sites are especially important. Larger growth is usually planned as urban extensions and new communities through local plans.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Cheshunt
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 99 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Brownfield land in Cheshunt: 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.
Is Cheshunt too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Cheshunt, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Cheshunt 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.
