The brownfield land that interests us around Aldridge
In Aldridge, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Aldridge is in the West Midlands, about 9 miles north of Birmingham. Nearby places include Walsall, Bloxwich and Sutton Coldfield.
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- 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
Metro tram extensions, the High Speed 2 stations at Curzon Street and Interchange, and suburban rail lines are a focus for higher-density homes. Former industrial land often needs contamination and ground investigation, and the Black Country's mining and limestone legacy means ground stability checks are common.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Aldridge, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
