The brownfield land that interests us around Atherstone
Brownfield land in Atherstone tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. In Warwickshire, Atherstone sits about 20 miles north of Warwick; Nuneaton and Bedworth are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Some land in Warwickshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 15 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
