The brownfield land that interests us around Banstead
In Banstead, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Sitting about 17 miles east of Guildford, Banstead is within Surrey, with Sutton and Ewell close by.
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
Surrey is a county of commuter towns, including Woking, Guildford, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames and Farnham, and many villages. Most of the county is Metropolitan Green Belt, and the Surrey Hills and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the south. Previously developed land, infill plots, garden and backland sites and grey belt are therefore central to housing supply, with larger sites usually allocated through local plans.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Banstead
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
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 111 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
