Brownfield land wanted in Westbury
We are actively looking for brownfield land in Westbury and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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 Westbury
Former works, depots and yards in and around Westbury can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood. Sitting about 4 miles south of Trowbridge, Westbury is within Wiltshire, with Warminster and Trowbridge close by.
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Wiltshire includes Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Melksham, Devizes, Calne, Warminster and Westbury, with many villages and much open downland. Green Belt from the Bristol and Bath area reaches the west of the county, and the North Wessex Downs, Cranborne Chase and Cotswolds National Landscapes and part of the New Forest National Park cover large areas. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former military or industrial land.
Before we make an offer in Westbury
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 90 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Wiltshire
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Is Westbury too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 90 miles from Westbury, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Westbury 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.
