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

What brownfield land we want near Grimsby
Former works, depots and yards in and around Grimsby can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood. Grimsby is in Lincolnshire, about 30 miles north-east of Lincoln. Nearby places include Cleethorpes, Hedon and Louth.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Lincolnshire, as used here, includes the Humber towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes as well as Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Stamford and Skegness. There is no Green Belt, but the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape covers part of the county and much of the south and east lies in low-lying fenland and coastal marsh at high flood risk. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land.
What decides whether a site in Grimsby works
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
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 104 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
